If you get a reasonable amount of downtime off of work, you might be able to set up Mint and run Windows in a VM if you really need to. I feel like that might work better. I'm not sure though as I haven't virtualised an OS in years.

If the problem is spice it might still be a problem though.

That's not a bad idea. Would I just run wine for the VM?

Ya I guess I can try using RDP or some other VNC. Might be better than using Spice.

GNU/Linux has VM platforms too. But you can run individual things in WINE and see if they work too. I think GNOME Boxes works fine. I'm not sure if it would suit your needs but you can try it.
