Its fine if you're not doing stuff that requires windows. My partner is running Mint, and I've got a HomeAssistant box, but I can't ditch Windows completely because I can't get Wilcom and DesignSpace to run in Wine, and I need those to make my machines work.
What machines do you have if I may ask?
Wilcom, I suppose embroidery? I have a Janome MC500e and I've succesfully created stitchfiles with Inkscape+Inkstitch. MyEditor and 2stitch work via wine as well.
DesignSpace is cricut right? Maybe this site I stumbled on might help If all else fails, you could also try a vm with windows in lib-virt (virtmanager or Boxes), that way windows can be paused and always has a nice red X in the topright corner :-)
We're running with the Barudan Beky at work. The problem is that we get EMB files from clients, and Inkstitch doesn't support those.
That's the only site I've found describing DesignSpace on wine, but it just crashes for me. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, or if my ancient i3 laptop is just shitty. The same machine ran DesignSpace okay with windows, but it might just be too old to handle an emulation layer ontop of it.
