Hi everyone — I recently migrated to Linux Mint and overall my experience has been excellent, but I still rely on several Windows applications (notably SolidWorks, among others). Aside from dual-booting, which I really prefer to avoid, running these programs inside a Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC virtual machine in VMware Workstation appears to be the most viable option. However, I am uncertain how to implement this setup and whether it is the optimal solution. What would you recommend I do?

    I haven’t tried those but I’m curious, how do you get the image of the app inside the VM ?

    Does it get windows’ window decoration or your window manager’s decoration ?

    Is it possible to display this application window to another computer, standalone, not as a whole desktop shared window ?

    If it is possible to display such an application over the network, would it be possible to display this application to an android phone ?

    thanks

      Unfortunately I haven’t used it either, so I can’t answer your questions on this. I don’t have a personal need for any windows apps on my machines, outside of steam games.
