      Theyve looked a bit daunting to set up, so not just yet. But isnt that effectively the same thing, still running windows for those programs just without having to actually sign out of the linux partition to do it?

        Yeah, but it’s nice to just be able to use your windows software without needing to bootup windows, and then after you’ve finished reboot into linux.

            Well you gotta give your VM a little more juice than just one CPU core and 4 MB of RAM :)

              Yes, I realize that. But even if I give 24gb of ram and 8-16 cores, in my experience VMs are still painfully slow. (That being said I generally only use them in a work setting, meaning not on Linux)
