First, let's look at the official software available on Linux:
Minecraft (Java only)
Steam,
(PLEASE NOTE: However, certain multiplayer games only available on Windows may ban you for “cheating” because it is not an emulator but more of a translation language, I believe it is called an onion language, which basically makes it understand how an .exe file works, etc., on Linux.
And so, without going into technical details that I don't know myself, this can cause the anti-cheat to malfunction and get you banned.
So I recommend you use this website: https://www.protondb.com/ Basically, it's run by volunteers who can tell you whether your games will be compatible with Linux.)
Discord, OBS, VScode, FireFox/Chrome, Polyphone, Audacitiy/Tenacity, VLC, Turbowarp, Unity, Godot
Here are the software programs that you can now have on Linux, but in a way that is not official:
Roblox = Sober
Roblox Studio = Vinegar
Some software is more complicated to make executable on Linux because it is not designed to be executable on Linux:
Notepad++ = Wine
Capcut (.exe Version) = Wine (NOTE: I saw that in theory it's possible with Wine, but I've never managed to do it.)
FLP Studio = Wine (NOTE: probably glitchy)
Here are some programs that currently do not work at all on Linux without a Windows, Android, etc. emulator:
All Adobe Programs (except for Adobe Flash Player bc yeah yu know y
) = use alternative like Gimp, etc
