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.

      You seem to be a bit more advanced than I am, I have only ever used kritas version of smart objects, & perspective distort, but I don’t know about the others you mentioned.
