Have you considered making the ~~Win10~~ Win11 VM a complete work jail? If you do all things work in there then you get a nice separation of private and work and won't have to worry about work apps linux compatibility.
edit: Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025

A few thoughts:
I was thinking Win 10 EOL won't matter if the VM has no Internet access. Linux would sync the files for me, so the Windows VM can just run Excel (and maybe Word, since I'm setting up Office 2024 anyway) using the files synced by abraunegg's onedrive, so it doesn't need internet access. (Assuming there's a partition format that works well for both Windows and Linux that I can use for onedrive, which I assume is a "solved" problem by now—i remember this being hard 20 years ago.)
And his package apparently works in Fedora 42 with docker, which I assume should work fine.
But yeah; maybe what you're suggesting makes more sense. And that VM definitely would need web access, then, so Win 10 is a non-starter. The database work I do is likely easier in Linux, but that's likely easy enough to get data files out of the VM for just that work, I would expect.
Another question now comes to mind; I'm going to look this up now; how hard is it to copy/paste between Linux and a VM? Edit: As I'd hoped, this is also apparently a solved problem and sounds easy to configure.

in reply to blindsight • • •I’m by no means an expert on this, but I have used both Bazzite and Fedora workstation as my exclusive operating systems.
What I would say is that they’re both perfectly adequate for the tasks you described.
Personally, I’d say unless you prefer things handed to you, choose Fedora. I don’t have a problem with flatpacks, but I missed being able to easily use dnf. At the end of the day, though, there are ways around everything; you can still get what you need done on Bazzite.
In terms of kernel tweaks, etc. I barely noticed any difference in performance between the 2. Keep in mind that this was a relatively modern pc so performance wasn’t really an issue that I was looking out for.
Overall though, you’ll be fine whatever you choose. I also had to use MS office for work and it’s pretty much the one thing you can’t get working on Linux. You’ll have to explore your options for that, I ended moving back to a Mac because of Ableton live 🙁

in reply to blindsight • • •The main issue you'll run into is nicher proprietary software being hard to install, but that's what containers are for. The main one I see is if you need to install some proprietary VPN client it gets annoying, but since you'll be running a VM anyway you can do some network trickery. My work's antivirus only works on Ubuntu and RHEL, proprietary kernel modules so it's got to be at least one of those kernels.
Linux is Linux, nothing's impossible to solve even with Bazzite's immutability. Worst comes to worst you make your own images and it's not that hard, you basically just fork it on GitHub and let the CI do its thing.
But do you have time to fiddle to make it work and take the risk, or do you want to play it safe? How confident are you with Bazzite's more advanced topics?

in reply to Max-P • • •oh, shit:
You're right. I have a crappy work-supplied Windows laptop that has exactly that installed. It would be nice not to need to boot into that when I need to work on the server from home, but it's not a deal breaker.
No other specific non-web-based software is needed for work, aside from the aforementioned OneDrive and Excel 2024.
Edit: Your last paragraph is exactly what I'm asking about; I'm capable of doing slightly involved tinkering, but it would need to be something that I can Google Fu through each step of someone walking through most of the steps. I don't know it at all well enough to go completely "off script" and just tinker with confidence.
It sounds like you're suggesting that going for something mainstream and getting it to work for games is likely a better option, particularly for someone with limited Limits experience?

in reply to blindsight • • •Debian is far from being a mainstream workstation distro.
Debian is/was a very good server distro but there are lots of good alternatives to debian nowadays which may be much better for someones usecase. Debian is not the ultima ratio.

in reply to blindsight • • •For me, I personally just run my workplace stuff in a VM (Debian 12) using KVM.
For excel desktop, OnlyOffice has a Desktop application that you can use to edit local files, which has pretty good compatibility with Microsoft products.
