I'm guessing those pieces of software won't run in wine? Its pretty good these days.

I've never tried. Does it handle random applications or would they need to be on a list?

[–] eodur@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Wine is pretty good for most things I've tried, except new Office (will run the old versions OK). Try O365, if Libre Office won't cut it. You can try the installer in Wine without hurting anything. For your other stuff,I keep a Windows 8 vm around off network to run some ancient radio programming software, so maybe that is an option.
