If you want to use proprietary software, yeah, you should use Windows. It's built for that. For better or worse, Linux really isn't.

Edit: Or use Windows binaries with your distro-provided Wine. Win32 is the only stable user-level Linux API.

Going for a windows build with wine instead of the Linux build sounds completely crazy, but then again Proton works exceptionally well on Steam so this might genuinely be the more long term stable option. I'll have to try that out lmao.

Yeah. It's not the world I would've chosen, but it's the world we've got, lol.
