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
You can if it's a protable software, you can "acquire" portable softwares on appnee
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
Do the 3D mouses work?
True I wanted to run affinity I couldn't do it I apparently need a custom version of wine
Ya but they won't run in that app either I bet (like photoshop or 3dsmax).
Maybe, I’d like to see if there’s a difference, but you’re probably right
