It’s not really suitable for production use yet. I ran it in a VM a few days ago, got a BSoD within a few minutes just from doing completely normal things.

Woha, careful there, we’re on a forum full of Linux nerds and the joke writes itself.

But yeah, I guess that takes me back to my inital confusion - one would think a minimalistic Linux install with Wine would always perform better, if nothing else because there are a lot of people actively using and contributing to that software stack. But maybe sometimes there are advantages of having the software integrated directly in the system that Wine as a non-emulator on Linux cannot deliver.
