In my persistence to fit Linux in my life, I’m curious if some “must have” Windows software will work better if I just ran a Windows VM within Linux.

None of the software I need to work is needed to work continuously. They are basically programs that I fire up when needed, for a few minutes, then exited.

Wine will install them, but not run them, so I’m hoping a VM is the answer as I’m not interested in dual-booting to run a few Windows programs occasionally.

    Sounds like they’re using it on their desktop, so passthru is probably going to be a mess regardless of hypervisor type, since they probably can’t do exclusive access to it.

      I fucking hate GPU companies for always removing SR-IOV from their consumer cards
