I spent much of today trying to get WinApps running on NixOS. The VM performance is meh after following all the setup steps in the documentation, and I can’t get the RDP part working. I’m not asking for help, which would probably take lots of back and forth commenting. but if I should even try to continue. The steps don’t even mention Nix, only how to install dependencies via package managers.
I tried finding videos of Photoshop in WinApps but didn’t find any, to see what performance actually looks like. Would it even be decent, or should I just suck it up and do GPU passthrough? Ideally I’d like Photoshop a window part of my linux desktop instead of switching back and forth between OSes. Making something work has been a PITA so far.

Winapps do not make passthrough of GPU or there is no hardware acceleration it rendering in software way only basically if u are using even podman or docker or libvirtd in the end it qemu with windows in which u connect by rdp.
About rdp ,
- make sure that OEM scripts was successful executed in windows ,they should appear at C:\oem
- Do not forget to clean certificate of freerdp on host system there mention about it on github wiki of winapps
- Preferable use something like tiny11.iso
