In my persistence to fit Linux in my life, I’m curious if some “must have” Windows software will work better if I just ran a Windows VM within Linux.
None of the software I need to work is needed to work continuously. They are basically programs that I fire up when needed, for a few minutes, then exited.
Wine will install them, but not run them, so I’m hoping a VM is the answer as I’m not interested in dual-booting to run a few Windows programs occasionally.
There are indeed many applications and games that still don’t run under wine for all different kinds of reasons. And the windows-on-linux virtualized GPU solutions for VMs are still not mature enough to work for many apps, so unfortunately for those people, their only choice is a physical GPU passthrough VM.
