I would have by now if I didn't need some crappy software that doesn't work on linux.

That sucks. Not even through wine?

I don't remember what it is called but someone is working on a seamless VM launcher that runs windows in the back ground and launches the app like a native windows program.

Not that interested myself since everything I need runs in Linux just fine and it sounds like it would be a slow heavy "program" to launch but it's still gonna remove the last excuse.

That's hella exciting to me. I've almost exclusively used Linux for about a decade now, and I've never been able to get wine to work- I used to dual boot, but nowadays I just don't use anything that won't run on Linux without a VM

What couldn't you get to work with wine?

I don't remember what all I tried, since it's been years since I gave it a shot, and the things I was trying to use were things I decided I could live without
