PS: Some, but not all Windows software does run on wine,
https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/wine . You could run quasi all
Windows software, that doesn't run on wine and that doesn't require
direct hardware access via Windows drivers, on a Windows guest running
in a virtual machine, such as the easy to use virtualbox,
https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/virtualbox .
