You can run .net over wine no?
It's complicated... there's Windows .net apps (which run in wine through mono), there's Linux .net apps (that get run with dotnet), and there's apps that have to be run through mono directly.

Exchange is very dependent on Win32 and .NET Framework. As is ODSP and Dynamics. Azure under the hood is Hyper-V with most services built upon that dependency. Yes, millions of man hours, monkies, and typewriters you could transform this to Linux. The economics aren't there when Azure/M365 keeps pulling in money running on it's current platform hand over fist.
Over 60% of customer workloads running on Azure are Linux. And that statistic is skewed by those using things like AzureAD (basically workgroups). At some point it will become a burden to develop new technologies on Windows instead of Linux. If that hasn't already happened. Desktop already is a dwindling revenue stream for Microsoft. Microsoft is already pushing for companies, from small garage startups to mega enter…
I'll consider switching to Linux when the GUI becomes as configurable as Windows 10 or earlier. For example, this is my taskbar layout: https://i.ibb.co/1GqKH27L/taskbar-layout.png To my knowledge, it's not possible to achieve anything like this layout on Windows 11, Linux or Mac. I did try it in various Linux distros a few times but frankly got sick of navigating the maze of window managers et cetera. I think someth…
If that's literally the only thing stopping you.. you could always just write it yourself ..

It's a very configurable extension for gnome that can do all you described except double stacking...
I've uploaded a video demo and a config file that makes it kinda like what you want, again no double stacking:

You can also configure it to keep open window buttons separate from the launcher icons, but with the lack of double stacking I rather have it "take over" the launcher.
The way I've set it up it will also only show the open windows for the virtual desktop or screen the bar being shown at, which helps alleviate the crowding issue of only having one row.
I don't want Linux to become as popular as Windows currently is. Its quality would decline drastically as it would be subjected to all sorts of corporate forces. I don't want it to become a commercially driven, adversarial OS like Windows and Mac OS. I want it to remain the free, stable and decent OS it currently is, in a comfortable 3rd place.

On my next attempt at a Linux desktop I'll most certainly try it.
I'll also create a feature request for resizing/stacking of rows.

Took me about 2 minutes to replicate on KDE Plasma[0][1]. I have a lot more things in my taskbar that I don't want to remove for this test, so it looks a little more crammed up.

But then, I really doubt the GP is using out of the box Windows.

All of those Linux workloads are running on NT.
As far as deployed operating systems go, Windows is in the extreme minority.

IIUC, Microsoft bought-out Mono and donated it to Wine, making it effectively legacy. It probably still 'works', but not many big IT departments are going to run critical apps on some old unsupported hackjob.
