First impression is that the gui is beautifully designed, installation on NixOS was (as always with prepackaged Nix packages) painless.

I'm not sure what I should use it for though since I don't really run any windows applications other than games, and I use QEMU for that, only game that hasn't worked in QEMU is "Halo Infinite".



How's that work? You have a QEMU windows box setup to game on?

Why not use Proton?


Yeah I have a QEMU windows box that I game on.

The reason I don't use proton is because compability isn't 100%, whereas actually running windows gets you to a 100%, if we don't count games with predatory anticheats, but those don't work on proton either (For now).

I'm REALLY superstoked about Intels new HPG GPU's, it's rumored they'll have SR-IOV support, meaning I could partition the GPU to run both Windows and Linux at the same time. (There's support for it in my 11th gen Intel CPU on my work laptop, but the software isn't there yet, so I'm not certain it'll work)
