      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 :/

          It depends on the VM, but some of them have working graphics hardware acceleration. Virtualbox should be relatively easy to set up with modern Windows guests, but isn’t free for commercial use. qemu/kvm is free for all uses, but may require some tinkering to get everything to work. qemu also supports video passthrough—using the VM to drive a second video card installed in your machine—which some gamer types prefer.
