I managed to get Photoshop CS6 installed on Lutris, using the script on their site. The problem is however, that whenever I open a file (doesn't matter if it is jpg, png, psd, etc.) the screen remains black. I can see the picture in the Layer thumbnail, but not in the main work-area. Does anyone know what the problem might be? (Also, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask).

Im pretty sure this method utilizes RDP. I'm thinking about getting an Intel ARC380 GPU for PCI-E pass through to a windows VM and doing the same thing. I've tested this with an Nvidia Tesla k80 (though it's not a very practical card to have on a desktop). You should be able to get enhanced performance out of the VM if you enforce video encoding on GPU via group policy.

The only downsides are :

passing certain peripherals through RDP fails on Linux from my experience (for example, USB DAC, Xbox 360 USB controller). Your mileage may vary.
absolute mouse position doesn't work over RDP so don't try this with any games that need a mouse for camera control (fps) it simply won't work. If you want to game, lookingglass would probably be better for that but I haven't tested that yet.
