Linux

And with it, the infinitely recursive wsllswwsllswwsllsw...

They can't run Adobe. This runs a full VM constantly in the background that you can pop up when you want to use the Windows desktop to install things etc. It's a completely different set up. It can also run ArcGIS Pro, which the other methods can't.

Unlike the Wine based stuff (Bottles, Winetricks), this runs actual Windows as a VM. So compatibility will be far better though performance will be worse.

The thing is, sometimes you need Microsoft not of your own volition but because of bureaucracy. When I was signing a contract recently, the government required me to fill in a office word document and it would not work at all on libre, I had to scramble around the house, went through 3 different computers trying to get any of them to have office working after I just recently uninstalled it from all of them to use libre only, but in the end I had to use a university computer to fill in the doc.

As much as I want to move from them, Excel and Photoshop are too advance compared to any alternative, including both FOSS and commercial one.

Even Excel Online is not as advance as Excel desktop.

Casual users can get away from them, not advance user that needs unique feature only available in the software.

Audacious is your friend. It accepts old Winamp skins!

I've been rocking the Windows XP skin on Linux Mint

It really whips the llama's ass!

AFAIK I am pretty sure Winamp works fine on Wine.

It running in podman just windows VM and connection to real host done with rdp window capture from windows.I tried it not that bad can be used for office work i used it with tiny11

Yea it's great!

Running Windows in a Docker, Podman or libvirt virtual machine

Seems to me like GPU acceleration should be supported. Libvirt probably requires dedicated passthrough or sophisticated methods like SR-IOV.

Docker and Podman can't run Windows VMs by themselves. These containers use QEMU, so it's essentially a pre-made setup for what you already had.

I am running it on Docker. :)

tldr: VM->RDP seamless render

WinApps works by: Running Windows in a Docker, Podman or libvirt virtual machine. Querying Windows for all installed applications. Creating shortcuts to selected Windows applications on the host GNU/Linux OS. Using FreeRDP as a backend to seamlessly render Windows applications alongside GNU/Linux applications.

Wine Is Not an Emulator.

This is an Emulator.

It should be ok, I think. I am running ArcGIS which is pretty resource heavy and it works just fine.

I'm gonna try this out. I like to use a DnD character generation sheet that only supports Adobe PDF with its js shenanigans. There really isn't any sheet generator that comes close to it, I checked.
