Bhyve vs Podman for linux

F

I've been running Linux (mostly Arch) for ca 9 years and had Affinity Studio (only available for Windows), for photo editing up and running on Arch using Wine. I switched for FreeBSD (15p7) are few weeks ago and, basically, have everything that I was using before up and working. I would like to try and get Affinity work, though not a deal breaking if I can't. So the question is would I be better off trying to use Bhyve or Podman running docker ? It would have to to be a Linux container (prefer Arch, but i guess it really doesn't matter), with graphics, and able to use Wine).
Any thoughts, suggestions, etc.

Thanks
 
Why not wine? It's on ports. And it's better integrated with the graphics stack of FreeBSD for windows programs.

By default the linux compatibility layer (rocky linux 9) will only support OpenGL (with patches/hack vulkan works, cuda maybe).

Podman requires root and has still some hard edges. VMs or jails I have little experience with getting windows working (virtualbox should also be an option though).
