| Robust but not perfect, would you run MicrosoftSQL(the
| Windows version) on Linux with WINE?
|
| However you still can try it with a LinuxJail, and yes the
| linux layer is pretty robust.

| First of all, only the Linux containers are supported for
| SQL Server, using Windows containers has been deprecated,

| Yes, I know (that's why I wrote "the Windows version"),
| but would you put it into production with your own
| WINE/Proton package?

| Yes, again, I know, and I think you know what I mean by
| my example, I had no other example of a major Microsoft
| dedicated application that came to mind. ;)
