The only thing I need Windows for is citrix to connect to my work machine. I'm thinking of getting a laptop just for this one task.

Windows VM in QEMU will solve this problem. I had multiple clients with different VPN or remote access tech and used to keep a VM for each of them.

which vm software do you use? I have had a hard time with vm software on linux no that Vmware got exploited by Broadcom.

QEMU is the one I prefer.

I had it set up with a network bridge so that each VM looked like an actual PC on my network.
