Significant performance overhead. 3D navigation in the BIM view is often laggy due to the translation of OpenGL/DirectX calls from the guest to the host.

ArchiCAD relies heavily on OpenGL. In a standard VirtualBox scenario on Ubuntu, the OpenGL commands must be translated from the Windows guest to the Linux host driver. This results in:

Bottles is a powerful graphical tool that uses to create isolated "bottles" for Windows software on Linux. It is generally easier to manage than standard Wine and provides better dependency handling. Steps to Install: Install Bottles: The safest way on Ubuntu is via Flatpak.
