I’ve put Mint, Kubuntu, and Arch on a few different Macs from 2011-14, and the Broadcom drivers are an arsehole every time. I wish I was smart enough to save a note on how I did it.

+1 for Winboat. As long as you’ve got the RAM and CPU cores to spare, it’s a really nice solution to the Windows software that you really can’t replace. My PC has an 8core CPU and 16Gb RAM. Much less than that and it gets pretty taxing.
WinApps is more complete, in that you can right click on a file to open it in an installed Windows app, which isn’t something you can (currently) do with Winboat, but WinApps is more of a bastard to set up.
Make them open source the drivers so the community can do it then.
