For the time being, you might as well use Wine for most commercial Windows programs on Linux. I can't wait for fully-fledged open-source alternatives to be available instead of having to rely on pirated copies that may include malware. I also just want to learn how to write proper code in general, but it's also because the pervasive reliance on proprietary software will inevitably reach its end-of-life (EOL), prone to become obsolete (abandonware) and eventually discontinued.
This planned obsolescence is part of why we often long for the “good old days.”
