I spent much of today trying to get WinApps running on NixOS. The VM performance is meh after following all the setup steps in the documentation, and I can’t get the RDP part working. I’m not asking for help, which would probably take lots of back and forth commenting. but if I should even try to continue. The steps don’t even mention Nix, only how to install dependencies via package managers.
I tried finding videos of Photoshop in WinApps but didn’t find any, to see what performance actually looks like. Would it even be decent, or should I just suck it up and do GPU passthrough? Ideally I’d like Photoshop a window part of my linux desktop instead of switching back and forth between OSes. Making something work has been a PITA so far.
Mhheee, i used to use Affinity Designer and changed to Inkscape, it’s more then good enough for me…Inkscape are on Mastodon as well
I went the opposite way, if companies can’t be ass’d supporting Linux I cant be asse’d supporting them.
That said Affinity were sold to Canva so it can only enshitify from here, so i figured I just got out early anyway.
The only hard one for me was Lightroom to Darktable, not because Darktable is bad but becase it’s so powerful it’s a little over whelming for a part time user like me.
Darktable is also on Mastodon, so that’s good.
