I have a laptop that I dual boot on, I'll have to try a few games on it. The biggest thing for me is if MusicBee will work, because I've been using it for almost ten years and want to keep using it.

It should work according to my research, though I do recommend trying Linux native alternatives as well. I personally went with Strawberry for now and it is similar enough for me.

I also dual boot on a laptop and a lot of games work well, especially via steam. I do have more problems with my GoG library and I had massive troubles to get Anno installed via Uplay. I've also noticed there are a lot of native native Linux ports coming out for some older games as well.

I'm not familiar with it but you might get lucky and it will work with Wine. It took me years before I was comfortable dropping Windows but I am a lot less anxious now about having an update randomly brick my PC or wipe out my settings/tweaks.

Good luck!
