Counterstrike represent! I'd love to see popularity breakdown of applications run by wine. What else do people use it for?

I can only speak for myself, but I use it for loading VST plugins in Linux.

How do you do this specifically? Do you use some kind of bridging software or do you make a shim for each plugin that loads Wine on the fly?

When gaming, I've been convinced to pretty much live in Steam/proton. I also use a few games through Lutris.

I don't use it much for productivity tools, as I've been full time on Linux long enough that I generally prefer the native tools. On the rare occasion I need a windows only software, I usually just spin up a VM.
