Alternative to Playonlinux


Hello everybody,
I'm using an Asus S56C with Lubuntu 22.04.4 and for work I use Photoshop CS6 and Vector Magic with Playonlinux. I was wandering - just for curiosity - if there are any good alternatives to Playonlinux to use these Windows programs.
Thanks in advance!

I am using Lutris for Windows games (sometimes Windows applications, too) almost exclusively on my rig. It works perfectly fine.

For apps, Bottles. For games, Lutris is quite good. Bottles can do both but I am partial to Lutris for games.

Bottles is magic. I've used it for FL Studio for a year and it didn't break
