  • 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/rendering, SFX, video editing or ML/AI, there are a lot of options on Linux. Some options that exist in Windows also have Linux versions.
