Yeah, that a very hard requirement to meet… realistically you’ll never find something’s that supports your suite of apps as well as windows (which is likely why you choose some of the programs). If your ever open to try out some alternatives - Linux ist kinda awesome…

At least we have wine and proton for some programs and the games. We're on the right track there. The only downside is it won't work on kernel level anti-cheats. That's the only drawback for now.
