    Most vendor software works the best on Windows.

    Windows also generally has the best compatibility. I always keep at least one Windows 11 VM to install various things in.

      Have you run some demanding games in that VM? And what virtualisation have you been using?

      I’ve been thinking about trying that out with QEMU/KVM.

        You need a GPU if you want to run demanding games

        It is feasible but it takes some tinkering

        Definitely not trivial to do. You need to use GPU passthrough to allow a VM to have a GPU, which requires manually figuring out a whole bunch of PCI addresses, among other technical things. If you fear the terminal, you will have a bad time.

          Thanks for letting me know! That’s one thing I was worried about, but I may very well give it a shot anyway. Luckily, I’m not opposed to messing in the terminal, I do it for work nearly every day :P Messing with PCI Addresses would be new though!
