    I run some windows-only proprietary software. Realistically what’s the performance like with Wine or whatever it is that emulates windows?

    I run a lot of GPU accelerated CAD

      Some apps actually run faster on Wine than on native Windows, but it’s a bit a hit and miss. You should try them yourself.

      Also, dual boot is usually the best solution to begin.

      Near 100% since Wine isn’t a hardware emulator. But it depends on how well the software is supported, and CAD has historically been a sore point (but it may be better these days).
