I really enjoy Linux but I find myself having to keep Windows partitions around for software that specifically requires Windows.

Proton makes everything easier by automatically running game files through a translation layer, and it “just works” quite well most of the time.

Also VanillaOS can apparently auto-spin a container when you try to open a .deb or AUR package (this is my rudimentary understanding).

Setting up WINE/Bottles, etc. is above my pay grade.

Is it not possible to create an OS that just does the same thing as Steam but for the entire OS?

    Then why are you wasting peoples time with asking questions?

    Getting answers to a simple question (which I have) doesn’t require learning.

    Running software on an OS it wasn’t made for is anything but a basic task.

    Never said it was.

    Not really. It has deeper integration of Wine into the system by default,

    Which is exactly what I inquired about so yes, really.

    but it is still a Linux OS running a compatibility layer for Windows software.

    I’m aware. I didn’t ask for anyone to make Linux run Windows applications natively.
