I mean, great. I've never actually tried since going all in on Linux. Figured I'd just abandon the Windows world. This would be useful though.

Does anyone here actually do this, with Winboat or any other tool? Every time I've tried it's been too flaky to be worthwhile, but it's been a good few years.

I'd chuffing love to have Affinity back.

It's just a VM + an RDP connection in rootless mode. You can do it, but RDP is flaky in rootless mode.

I'm currently using a similar setup for Office. You lose drag and drop, and you will be restarting the RDP client over and over again.

It's a "solution" if you're willing to put up with jank.
