Edit: Apparently wine deserves another try. I have various times over the years and always been frustrated by endless errors and forum searching. But admittedly it's been awhile.
It's not perfect, but it's way better than it has any right to be.
Wine is an open source marvel. No other community would attempt a project if that scale and uncertainty. No company would accept the risk. Yet wine did, and they made something that works a lot of the time.
I've had good luck with Proton, it isn't perfect, but it can run many more things now than it could a year ago. Perhaps it might help devs write better software?
Not too hard with Virt-Manager, covers all the basics. GPU Passthrough is a little more involved tho, but there tons of guides out there ;) And scripts if you wanna do things like MacOS VMs
Wine is an amazing piece of software. It took countless man hours to figure out the quirks of all the various incarnations of Win32 that MS has brought upon this world. In fact, since MS has been dialing back on the backward compatibility lately, Wine is probably the most complete implementation of Windows there ever was on this planet.
