Back in the day, I dreamt of being able to run Cubase on Wine, and not have to deal with Windows at all, but I remember being told (this was maybe 2002?) by someone who claimed to have the inside line that there was the possibility that Cubase would run on Linux 'soon', natively.
That became less of an issue when Windows 7 came along as it worked so well, but now I know the next hardware revision of my studio PC will probably need to run Windows 10 (which I detest using), I'm looking misty-eyed at it again. But I know that Cubase is immensely demanding, and no doubt uses lots of odd Windows APIs that Wine doesn't cover (or cover fully), so that's just a pipe dream which gets awoken every time I see a new release of Wine come along and I somewhat foolishly check the app database only to find the last versions to test were years ago and were 'garbage'!
I'm sure you have your reasons (no pun intended) but given all you've said here I'm curious as to why your studio PC isn't a Mac? I've done a bit of recording with bands and have never come across anyone running a recording studio on Windows.
FWIW I'm a Linux user too and as a musician I would love Steinberg et al to pull their fingers out so I can have a dabble in that world. We can but dream.
