But not all Windows apps can be run via Wine, at least some apps related to some tools I’ve had to use were not available

Then spin up Windows in a VM. It is painless and has unattended installation

Yup that’s what I do

Edit to say that there’s some mouse drivers which don’t work in a VM, at least from my experience but maybe I didnt try hard enough

Do the 3D mouses work?

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Is this like windows in a window, windows in the cloud, or a dual boot situation?

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It's like Windows in a window. Not just Windows, but you can run many other operating systems in a VM too.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Ya but they won't run in that app either I bet (like photoshop or 3dsmax).

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Maybe, I’d like to see if there’s a difference, but you’re probably right

True I wanted to run affinity I couldn't do it I apparently need a custom version of wine

  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
