I run “windows” games on linux througn steam and it is quite fluid. I have a prgram that uses heavy gpu p4ocessing called rebelle. Its a painting program 9n the computer- ill likely do the winboat install, and run r3belle and see if it runs on or not. I also have onone which is ai which i beleive uses gpu horsepower quite a bit, and will install that and try too.

IF these work, and work well, i am done with windows altogether.

I had tried photoshop in a virtusl machine before with wine, and just was not impressed with the performwnce- we’ll see how Winboat handles it

Ok, just heard it has no gpu acceloration- thats a no go for me. I know there are videos on gpu passthrough, but they are out of my league tech-wise...

Winboat is a good idea, but linux is still not there when it comes to running windows programs it seems unfortunately.
