This got me to convince my wife to switch to Linux again. She had the last Windows device in our household. She needed it for proprietary kitchen planners.
A kitchen planner is a program that lets you enter your room dimensions and then lets you fit kitchen cupboards, shelfs, cabinets and appliances in there. Ideally it comes with everything your supplier or contractor has on offer. Especially for colors and designs, but more importantly dimensions.
I like Sweet Home 3D. I’m slowly building my house’s floor plan and laying out furniture using it. Just using it sporadically once every few weeks. It’ll be done eventually.
I’m hoping to use it in Home Assistant with ha-floorplan (https://experiencelovelace.github.io/ha-floorplan/) so that I can have a floor plan with things overlaid on it (lights, temperature, etc) that you can tap to toggle.
I see 😁 I plan to test a lot of windows software if it runs on proton 😂 it’s more fun than gaming for me: getting stuff to work that I’ll never really need

Now she’s ranting about enshittification.
proprietary… kitchen planners? wtf? wtf even is a kitchen planner?
That seems like the easiest thing to replace with something open source.

Luckily they are usually web based nowadays.
Oh interesting! I was thinking of planning in the kitchen not planning for a kitchen build. That makes WAY more sense!
I totally misunderstood.
If possible you could have her try http://www.sweethome3d.com/

Have you not tried to run that software using proton?
Outside of games Wine still doesn’t cut it for many programs. Plus this was before Proton.

Thank you for your service! o7
Be sure to add your findings to Wine’s AppDB.
