I’m waiting for baited breath for ONE work-related app to have a Linux version before jumping ship on my main computer.
Linux is on every other platform at my home, I just want to be 100% free :(

Can’t you run that one app under WINE or something? Or even a Windows VM if you really need to…
It’s the Adobe Creative Suite, I have to use it for my job. Many warriors have valiantly fought to try to get Photoshop to teeter onto WINE, but I have yet to see anyone get the entire suite into a stable state. There is that AENux thing that someone is trying to do for After Effects, but it’s still in super early stages… done by one developer for probably Adobe’s most resource demanding app.
All the other apps I rely on can either run on WINE or have their Native Versions. I’m tied to either Windows or Mac for my main desktop until then.
At some point, one might consider a remote desktop setup. It’s easier to get a strong GPU that way, anyway.
Also… you can dual boot.
Can’t really do that for apps that need a discreet GPU
You should be able to with a second GPU and pass through, no?
Don’t think there’s an easy way to do this
What apps do you have in mind? I’ve never come across anything where the video card was the issue (assuming it is already working on the host system).
Like the Adobe suite? I don’t use those but I can’t imagine Premiere running too great with max 256MB of VRAM
What about that 16 bits commandos like western styled game?
A bit joke, a bit serious actually, it doesn’t even work on a modern windows :-/
