Wine 10.0 will have a lot of additions compared to Wine 9.0 like:

Improved Unicode.
Improved Wayland support.
Lots of DirectPlay support upgrades.
A new Media Foundation backend using FFMpeg.
ARM64 support upgrades.
An initial Driver Store implementation.
Expanded support for ODBC Windows drivers.
Support for elevating process privileges.
Better Dvorak keyboard detection.
And much, much more.

There are just four programs\games I like that I can't set up on Linux or find replacements for various reasons and that's impressive. I thought I'd be akin to a struggling refugee here but no, everything but niche stuff works fine and sometimes when it doesn't it's due to devs being dicks. Wine and now Proton communities aren't the makers of the Linux kernel\OS\DEs themselves, but they are ones of the fundamental bricks to my personal certainity I won't (need to) switch back to Windows.
