not OP but yeah, hopefully it works in wine or has a webapp, failing that I look for alternative software that meets my needs. If all else fails I suppose I could use a windows VM until a better solution appears. It’s really going to depend on your specific case and how vendor locked you are.
How well does a windows vm run in linux? Does it have hardware acceleration?
Asking because i need something to run photoshop and lightroom, which both need hardware acceleration :/
I’m all in on Linux at this point, it already does everything I need but faster
what do you do if you need to run an app thats windows exclusive? wine?

I don’t have experience with it, but I’m sure it’s possible to pass the GPU control to the VM, I don’t know how well this sort of thing works.
I think in general, VMWare is the best at working for Windows images.
It’s doable with KVM+Qemu. You really need a second video card to make it sane.
