For those who are wondering, yes, Wine is malware compatible so be careful about the EXEs you run!

Sadly "Wine is not a container" doesn't make for a good acronym.

I haven't run a Linux machine in years. Has wine improved or was I just not savvy enough to get things to run on it?

It's gotten significantly better since ~2010 or so when I was first struggling with it. Valve developing Proton on top of it definitely didn't hurt even if that in particular is more games focused.
