These days with how good KVM is, running Windows in a VM is a pretty good option.
Not that I'm against dual booting, but depending on how many programmes you're actually needing to boot into Windows for it can be a more convenient option.
On the other point, if you're struggling to get things working in Wine/Bottles/etc. when the internet tells you they should work, you could try looking into CrossOver by Codeweavers. It's a paid-for product from the company that does most of the development on Wine and Proton. Not everything can and will work in Wine/etc., but CrossOver has a free trial so it can't hurt to give it a go.
I'd be open to a VM, but in the case of Gigapixel it requires access to the GPU, which would disconnect it from the primary, my primary display. Thanks for the heads up on crossover, I'll look into it
