Flatpak only means I will not use this application.

Edit*: there is an unsupported version on AUR. Raised the rating but left it at three for this development practice.

Bottles makes it easy to set up wine prefixes.

Since discovering Bottles, every installation of any Windows-based application is smooth and hassle-free. Just create an bottle that suites your needs (generally, the Gaming bottle suffices in most cases), click Run Executable (.exe) and an (near) native installation will commence.

In cl i ckbait terms; ONE app I knew when I was starting moving to Linux (from Windows). Give this 'Italian' app a go, it will be an default app in any of my Linux installations. He (Mirko Brombin) also made VanillaOS and Atoms (which I haven't tried)
