    I have a Windows VM on my server. If I need MS Office or any Windows-only program I just use Remmina to RDP in and get stuff done.

    Windows has pretty good touch support over RDP so I can even do this from my phone or tablet if I need a full desktop on the go (using a VPN).

      Have you tried an oldie but goodie called winapps? It still works now and lets you use remote rdp to windows to show each specific program as a window on your linux desktop

        Yes! I’ve used that before.

        I spun up a trial version of Windows Server and tried to get it working. It seemed to want a Domain environment and I didn’t want to go down that road. There probably is a way to do it without setting up a Domain but I didn’t feel like messing with it at the time.

          The domain can be “localhost”. You just need to forward the RDP port from your host to the Windows guest.
