    Most of the progress in gaming has been due to Valve’s efforts with Proton. Running Windows versions of games in Proton is often better than the Linux native version.

    They would need some kind of third party with some kind of financial interest in creating a similarly robust translation layer for business software. Like people dedicated to making wine really good for business applications.

    We’ve got some tools, but my understanding is that the compatibility is very spotty… I can’t really conceive of something analogous to Valve, but for business apps, that would have a financial stake in greatly improving compatibility.
