Run a VM for Windows....
there's a few projects for running windows in a container.. winboat and winapps are a couple that come to mind. dunno if they're ready for 'prime time' yet. interesting concept, though.
Nope. Not always an option, for example, My recording studio is running Win10. I cannot get the same audio latency\performance I need in a VM, and some of my software will not even run if it detects that it is in a VM.
There's also things like HASP\Sentinel license keys that will detect VMs and refuse to run, all kinds of licensing servers do this to combat piracy.
I could go on... but I do IT for hundreds of businesses, I run into these niches fairly often when trying to virtualize legacy systems or retrofitting hardware for industrial equipment.
But for this you can get a Mac, and would be better than Linux. I do use macOS for work but my personal computer even for gaming is using Mint.
.... not really
Lemmy... where you get down voted for the truth lol
