A symptom of linux past traumas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I had a very similar situation.
I have to use Rhino 3D for work but refuse to give up my Arch daily driver.
I've been a sysadmin since Red Hat came on floppies.
And getting PCIe passthrough, accelerated network and disk drivers, and a whole plethora of other odds and ends working to the point where I could even boot Win11 took two solid days of work.
I'm still not even sure how I did it. I wouldn't expect anybody else to figure it out.
Next time I plan on experimenting with the Photon libraries.
I've been using Linux as my (mostly) sole desktop since 2005. We've come such a long way! But CAD/CAM software has always been anemic.
This makes me more comfortable to finish building my 2nd PC for windows with KVM switch
