โฒ 45 โผ If I have a PC with Windows on it, how can I parallel install Linux so I can start playing around with that?

[โ] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago (1 child) VMs are definitely better than dual booting. I went through the apps I was using and found the Linux versions or an equivalent. Installed Linux as the primary and put windows in a VM to handle the residual. For a lot of things I have found that Wine runs most of the residual windows apps ok. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] ChristerMLB@piefed.social 1 point 5 months ago same - although I've never used a VM to run photoshop or other tools for making stuff, just games. Having to use software from inside a VM in a creative workflow seems like a pain, but maybe there are possibilities I haven't thought of for file syncing and such. permalink fedilink source parent
