How about Winboat? Its just a Windows VM with less hassle. I use it for all the office apps.
i'll look into it, ty! though im not sure how it'll run with my drawing tablet and such
if that doesn't work maybe try libvirt? it's got usb passthrough so you should be able to mostly use peripherals any way you want. also it's got a gui like virtualbox so the hardest part is turning on hardware-accelerated virtualization/hyper-v in your bios
i'll look into it! unfortunately my tablet is not plug and play and requires drivers so hopefully that's not a problem
Never used wineboat but something to be aware of is VMs usually can interact with peripherals natively (as if they were the host computer) but this is almost always disabled by default as people usually use VMs to isolate stuff.
So you may need to adjust options
