      Me 😢

      I have a critical work app that will not run in wine or with proton.

      I’ve even contacted the devs and they suggested trying to run the android version on Linux, but it doesn’t work either.

        I have several for work that will likely never work in Linux.

        So those have a nice little VM they sit on, which has been stripped bare of the nonsense. Remote desktop access enabled, and I can do what I need whenever.

          That’s pretty interesting, but it’s a meeting software. So I’m regularly sharing my screen and sharing files. So I need to be in the os. I’ll just key checking it every time a roster counts out for proton or the app I use.

            That’s crazy, most meeting software I’ve seen is cross platform and have web clients.

            Ah, admittedly I avoid that problem entirely, I have an MTR, a ZR, etc running on devices here (hardware/software testing stuff), so I don’t need to run meetings on my desktop often.

            Edit: Just to note, I’ve done USB passthrough with VMs that were ZR builds and such, so that can be done. But I think if your sharing from there it can get messy (USB video capture and such as your sharing method, so on).

              To share the bigger picture, I’m using this app 99% of my working hours. So it doesn’t make sense to do it this way.

              I’d be better off just working out of the vm but due to performance loss and dealing with passing through usb I just use windows.

              Although, outside of work I use Linux.

      The majority of businesses and a lot of consumers. 46% of steam users. Few years it’ll be the majority.

      I do, I’ve been trying to get off it and onto Bazzite but I tried to do a test run by installing it on my laptop before my pc and the boot loader won’t pick up the usb 😔

      I don’t feel comfortable doing it on my pc without first seeing it work, so it seems I’m stuck on windows
