Honest question: when I am trying to install some obscure bullshit that only has windows and Mac versions, can I install a Windows version and it still runs?

If I understand your question right, you could install Windows on a virtual machine and run your software there yes.
As long as it doesn’t actively try to prevent itself from being run in one, or doesn’t require GPU acceleration, it should work just fine.

You understood it fine. I was hoping there would be some sort of Linux extension or some other shenanigan I wasn’t aware of that allowed them to run natively, but VM I guess works.

Well, there is the Wine project but not every app runs well, still worth a shot I suppose.

You can also install windows on Docker and connect via VNC
