2)becoming a hybrid of native Win32 apps and UWP apps,
This is just an intermediary phase in the depreciation of win32. Once the tooling is fully in place to drop win32 and once the public has been sufficiently softened to the concept, there is no doubt in my mind that they're going to drop it like a bad date and enforce the new, even more user-hating environment.

Yes, JavaScript, in any form, is the way forward, even in desktop based apps. That's the new normal I guess. Also, need to say goodbye to dedicated app installers and Windows Store (or any other alternative) will be the only place to get all the apps. Basically, a locked-down touch-oriented operating system disguised as a desktop OS.
It seems a good one but I couldn't make it work. The package is unavailable in the repo, and the deb file from the original website can't be installed because of the unavailability of libgtk2-perl dependency in the Bookworm repo.

Softmaker FreeOffice doesn't do tables and other important stuff which it sounds like OP needs. The paid version is the better way to go and so far I have not found an MS Office doc that it won't load and work with.
Likewise Softmaker FlexiPDF is excellent for PDF editing. Again it's a paid for application. It does run tolerably well under WINE, but it sounds like a Windows VM may be the better option for the heavy lifting.
I have lifetime license of Office 2016 and subscription of Foxit PhantomPDF 12. I use a Win10 VM only for these two.
Now, that I was able to setup Intel GVT-G in my windows VM, I am thinking of using Photoshop as well instead of Gimp.
I don't mind mixing linux and windows apps. For me, OS is a tool to get my works done, where Linux is more efficient among the tools for my type of works and Debian is the best manufacturer of the said tool.

Try with Firefox ... you will see the subtle difference in the rendering.
I feel Firefox renders very well; 121 was just released and it defaults to Wayland by default.
Here is a test you can perform if you have access to a GTK based DE (not Gnome).
1. Browse StackOverflow in KDE Plasma. You will see some threads are well-renderd while some are blurry.
2. Do the same in any GTK-based DE (not Gnome, please, it defaults to grayscale whenever it gets any chance) and you will find all the threads are rendered nicely.

Yeah, it's looking a bit unloved, but there is a beta of the gtk3 version here: http://gmusicbrowser.org/devel.html
I'm probably going to have to give it up at some stage, but NOT YET!

I don't care if there is a dozen steak and cheese pies in the warmer - I want the beef cheek, bacon and dark ale one!
I think your pie may have been in the warmer for three days, and the fresh ones aren't ready until tomorrow.
