Dipping into a Linux laptop lately (Mint) there are things, old things (think 1996-1999) that somehow "just work" out of box on Windows 10, but configuring them to work under WINE is a huge PITA coming with loads of caveats, workarounds and silent crashes.

The silent crashes get me. Also running one exe spawns a lot of wine/wineserver/wine-preloaded processes.
