Any chance you could use that Windows app in a VM, or is Windows itself a mandate too?

Before we got the green light to dual boot, I spent 90% of my time using Linux in a VM while windows basically handled my M365 applications. These days I much prefer having Teams and Outlook being tabs in Firefox!

I don't think so, this is rather complex video editing software and I never heard about anyone running it in a VM. Maybe I'll give it a try someday.

Knowing nothing about it, I’d guess it might work but at a slight performance penalty. But depending on how it uses system resources (GPU use, etc) maybe not.

You could run a VM of windows on your windows system just to mess with it. I always used VirtualBox but idk if there are better cross-platform options.
