Get out your popcorn because this should be fun to watch. They're already vibe coding all of the value and stability out of their OS.

As someone who only still has a Window install because Wine can't handle the CAD tools I rely on, I look forward to the day when Linux becomes a more attractive platform to release professional software for. I'm not holding my breath for the Year of the Linux Desktop but I can certainly enjoy the ride of MS's self sabotage to get there.

Have you tried Winboat? Don't know about CAD but it can handle Photoshop well.

WinBoat is amazing, but it doesn’t have GPU passthrough yet. That one feature is the holy grail for Windows virtualization on Linux. I hope the WinBoat team can solve it.

I'm afraid that's going to be a long way off.

KVM can do it, but usually only to one kernel. Not sure if you can have multiple kernels handling one GPU.
