Ooh, those are some lovely features. If only Nvidia hadn't dropped support for 10xx cards as per 590.xx locking me on kernel 6.12, I might even have been able to enjoy using ntsync!

If anyone has experience in running Fusion 360 on wine plz shout up, that's the last thing I need to work out before switching to Zorin...
It's better with something like Winboat (virtualized windows container) within your OS than something like Wine. This is the same case for other "We don't support Linux officially and actively block it because fuck you" productivity applications like Adobe's suite.
Personally, I moved from Fusion360 to FreeCAD instead, but I haven't heard anything negative about the Winboat method.
Fusion works flawlessly for me in winapps (and I'm sure winboat), but it is s-l-o-w. I probably need to figure out GPU passthrough and it might be bearable... But I haven't had much time to dedicate figuring it out.

This is great, but does it handle GPU acceleration yet? The main thing I still need Windoze for is SketchUp and I have never managed to get it to work because I get a GPU acceleration error. Any hints would be welcome.
It seems like SketchUp uses OpenGL, which should be supported just fine by a linux GPU driver. I haven't tried it myself, but you could maybe try running it through Proton (idk if there's a way outside of Steam?)

The only thing I need to run on windows now is for H&R block tax software. I wonder if I can try it with wine but I'm afraid of losing the activation license

Looks like not great/no one has tried for a few years. I say give it a shot (far from tax season) and report back!
I'm glad I don't really have any apps that require windows any more; apart from Affinity, which doesn't run in wine that well, and foobar2000, which genuinely works so well in wine that I might as well forget that there's no native Linux release.

There's a Wine fork tweaked especially for Affinity that works amazingly well.
