I spent much of today trying to get WinApps running on NixOS. The VM performance is meh after following all the setup steps in the documentation, and I can’t get the RDP part working. I’m not asking for help, which would probably take lots of back and forth commenting. but if I should even try to continue. The steps don’t even mention Nix, only how to install dependencies via package managers.
I tried finding videos of Photoshop in WinApps but didn’t find any, to see what performance actually looks like. Would it even be decent, or should I just suck it up and do GPU passthrough? Ideally I’d like Photoshop a window part of my linux desktop instead of switching back and forth between OSes. Making something work has been a PITA so far.
Don’t forget krita, as far as I am concerned they have feature parity with Photoshop, so long as you have no interest in ai features
That sounds like a major selling point. I’ll need to check that out.
Do you use it? Do you know if it has some of the features I need the most?:
You seem to be a bit more advanced than I am, I have only ever used kritas version of smart objects, & perspective distort, but I don’t know about the others you mentioned.
Frankly the open source ai projects for krita are better than Photoshop
The only one I’m aware of requires a GPU with 6Gb of vram, which sadly I do not have, I would very much like a background removal utility that is run locally
