  • Different OSes for different use cases. You have a job to do. Just use Windows.

    If you want to use Linux, use it on your own machines on your own time.

    That said, there are a few things you can do if you really want to use Linux:

    1. Test if the app works on Wine, Proton, etc. Even GPU accelerated apps can work, depending on the software/driver stack.
    2. Run a Windows VM and pass-through a GPU. That way you’ll get native performance on the app that’s GPU intensive. Use KVM and the CPU overhead will be negligible.
    3. If you’re doing 3D modeling, SFX, video editing or ML/AI, there are a lot of options on Linux. Some options that exist in Windows also have Linux versions.
