I agree. I am running a few things with WINE but I have no intention of trying with more. If it ran with Linux I would give it a try but as it is I will give it a pass.

QSPICE doesn't run on Wine as I mentioned earlier, so even if you wanted to...

It does run. You need Wine Staging and set Wine Tweaks to "hide version" and it will run.
Not great though, it will simulate but it's super slow and buggy (the forground and background get set to black making the circuit invisible untill you change the color of everything). It is a graphics issue, it uses the GPU for simulating normally but on Wine it defaults to CPU only simulation and rendering making it take several seconds to even draw a trace, and the trace has artifacts in it. And yes, I tried Proton with DirectX to Vulkan conversion, and a bunch of settings, it just seems to ignore the GPU.

The whole idea sounds like fun.
