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

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

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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