I’ve got an image noise reduction app that I simply can’t get working under linux, and that I can’t find an equivalent tool for under linux.

I’ve tried VMs and wine and none of them work. My web searches haven’t encountered anyone that can make it work either.

So, I’m at the point where I may need to boot in to windows to do my noise reduction. However, I would really love to be able to access my existing linux install via a VM or the like when I do so, so that I can access my daily driver software (which is all linux) whilst I’m in windows.

Is such a thing possible?

    I’ve looked at wine. It doesn’t work for this program, because it fails to install due to needing to download hardware specific models during installation, that can’t be successfully detected and downloaded under wine. On top of that, I then need GPU passthrough to run it even if I do install it.

    For the same reason, I haven’t had any luck with VMs, because of the lack of GPU passthrough without a second dedicated GPU
