WinApps works by: Running Windows in a Docker, Podman or libvirt virtual machine.

This seems like an okay solution, but my questions are:

How much overhead does this add? (Excel and Adobe products can be pretty heavy)
How much latency does it add? (Will things have good responsiveness, or will it behave like an app through RDP?)
How good is the hardware passthrough? (Editing video benefits greatly from GPU acceleration, Teams can be tricky about USB mics and cameras)

Does the Solidworks installer know if you do this?
