Yeah something like Wine, but running natively in the Linux OS.

I think here’s where you are a bit off in understanding…

Linux is not an OS. It’s a kernel. Long story short, technically “Linux” has no graphic interface, cannot even run commands without a shell attached etc…

Obviously when most people say “linux”, they mean a linux distribution, which is the linux kernel, with a bunch of software bundled and installed on top of it when you install. WINE is no different than “x” or “wayland”. which are by definition, software running on a linux kernel, that is necessary to run a program designed to be graphical.
