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.
Have you tried Lutris?
No, I haven't. Would that make any difference? It's not a game
Perhaps I have misunderstood, but I thought there were some cases where you could use it for applications that aren't games.
But there's a good possibility that I'm wrong.
