They asked about Office, Adobe, and Autodesk. I’d say the situation is still the opposite there. In the early 00s, you could run Microsoft Office etc. pretty well with CrossOver Office and the likes. But these applications barely work anymore if at all, most likely because their complexity increased a lot over the years.
Using a Windows VM is a pretty good solution. Though last time I tried only commercial solutions like VMWare work very well, because KVM-based solutions didn’t have great graphics support. Maybe VirtualBox is better, but Oracle.
- AstralStorm 3y agoThese days they tend to work very well, and if you're rich you can even redirect a spare GPU with a screen directly.
- ykonstant 3y agoInteresting about KVM limitations, because I am constrained to use that. VirtualBox... yes indeed, Oracle.
