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).
Apparently anything running on top of .NET is also harder than it should be.
Apps that use Vulkan or OpenGL should work as usual, apps that use d3d9 are supported with GalliumNine and dxvk, d3d10 with d3d10um and dxvk and d3d11 with dxvk only.
I rum Creo under wine, and while the performance is great, the stability is not. Creo loves crashing even on windows, and it's much worse on Wine. It's the one program that I kinda wish I had kept dual boot around for.
