I'm glad I don't really have any apps that require windows any more; apart from Affinity, which doesn't run in wine that well, and foobar2000, which genuinely works so well in wine that I might as well forget that there's no native Linux release.

There's a Wine fork tweaked especially for Affinity that works amazingly well.
I tried an Affinity-specific for of wine before, not sure if that's the one, but it was very slow and crashed a lot. Although that was a few years ago, I'm sure it's gotten a lot better.
Yeah this one is much more recent.
highly recommend checking out mpc+rmpc. bread on penguins made me try. https://youtu.be/oTOu7VfXnl8
I've replaced fb2k with DeaDBeeF entirely.
Tried that and it's good, but foobar is so much more customisable.
