I don't think there is an answer. The best you can do is probably running Windows in a VM and limiting its use to applications that you really cannot replace. It's been a while since I used a VM on Linux, but VMware had a thing called Unity Mode where you can have application windows from the VM on your Linux desktop:

It seems like they removed it from VMware 17.6, but maybe another VMM still has this functionality?

I haven't tried it but I've seen this project promoted in some tweets and maybe even here: https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps
