I myself would be more inclined to move if I had an option to run Adobe suite, Excel, TouchDesigner, Ableton and Recordbox through WINE without significant tinkering.

Idk enough about Ableton but theres definitely a few open source and proprietary alternatives that run on Linux. Try proton instead of Wine.
