   @NEETzsche @nolasco except that it doesn't require rebooting or weird partitioning schemes and it runs inside a regular window on my desktop alongside all my other stuff

     @nolasco @NEETzsche a full vm is a full vm it would be very surprising if it didn't work. main challenge is usually passing through hardware since you often also want access to it on the host. as long as you can just pass the entire usb hub or whatever the peripheral connects to through to the vm everything should "just work" because you're running the equivalent of a full machine
     
     the fact that there was a driver means that this was almost certainly doomed. those get loaded by the kernel so one for macos definitely will not work for linux and a solution like wine that emulates syscalls is too high level. full vm or bust

     This is just installing Windows with extra steps

     there are drivers for windows, and for macos which was why i was naively hopeful it would work for my ubuntu desktop. i am just going to partition my drive and install a free copy of windows 11 to it for now. idk if i could get it to work under kvm-qemu and based on the advice in this thread i am not going to try it.

     @nolasco @NEETzsche does it not require a device driver? even if not I wouldn't generally expect software for driving peripherals to work with wine
     
     can you run windows under kvm-qemu and pass the usb hub or serial port through to the guest?

     @nolasco Take the third position of having both a Linux and Windows machine within arm's reach at all times. That way you can do Linux shit or Windows shit by swiveling your chair a few degrees.

     i've essentially kind of done that, only i'm trying to use my linux laptop to run this engraving software and keep it next to my engraver so i don't need to constantly keep switching rooms from my bedroom with my desktop to the spare room with the engraver. i tried zorinOS and ubuntu based off google and the program doesn't launch in either wine setup i tried

     how does wine compare across different linux distros? i'm being filtered by the lowest tier issue i feel ;_;
