havent touched windows in like 2 years and only once had a problem with games not running

I've just converted my last Windows PC, meaning my gaming desktop, to Linux, now I need to figure out how to run SOLIDWORKS on it .. thinking a VM with GPU passthrough, but I'm a bit scared of the endeavor, despite having been a regular Linux user for I guess almost two decades.

Eh good luck with that. SOLIDWORKS sits firmly at the GARBAGE rating on the Wine AppDB

SOLIDWORKS sounds like it works perfectly, or it is not living up to its name and you should get a refund.

Use RDP apps to the cloud or something.
