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.
Don’t forget krita, as far as I am concerned they have feature parity with Photoshop, so long as you have no interest in ai features
Do you use it? Do you know if it has some of the features I need the most?:
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.
Frankly the open source ai projects for krita are better than Photoshop
The only one I’m aware of requires a GPU with 6Gb of vram, which sadly I do not have, I would very much like a background removal utility that is run locally

That sounds like a major selling point. I’ll need to check that out.
