The closest I’ve come to getting it to work was SketchUp Make 2017 (the last of the free versions). I could get it to install using WINE but as soon as I ran it it would crash out saying I was not supporting graphics acceleration. Right now I’m trying to install SketchUp Pro 2021 using Bottles and just keep getting Invalid Handle errors all through the installation, mostly when it seems to be looking for certain KBs for Windows 7 and 8 I think. I have to dig through the Logs to hopefully find I’m missing a dependency somewhere.
To answer your question I’m running Linux Mint and have an AMD Radeon 7970XTX that is more than capable.
Yes, for ages. What a weird question though. How are you set up?

Ok, but my question is does Wine run on Linux?
Yes, it does.
OK, my question is - is wine just a windows emulator
No, Wine Is Not an Emulator.
What does the WINE in WINE Is Not an Emulator stand for
It Not an Emulator all the way down.
