I would definitely prefer Linux over Windows. If there wouldn't be macOS.

However, you can have a look at CrossOver:
https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility

It's a commercial version of Wine with support. It's not only that they want money, they also deliver back a lot of patches to the Wine sources.
IMO it's worth a try. Many setup tasks are just a lot easier than with plain Wine.
There is also a compatibility database that shows you what works and what not. And if it works, how good it works.
