Dual Boot vs VM
Dual Boot vs VM
Hey there! I'm growing more frustrated with Windows 10 and thinking about switching to Linux. I still like playing certain games, but some titles don't work on Linux (like R6S). I'm stuck between using Windows for those games and trying a dual-boot setup. A VM could make things easier, but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort since I don't play games much anymore. What do you think?
I intended to use Linux, likely Ubuntu, as my primary operating system with Windows 10 in a virtual machine. My storage capacity is around 2 TB on an SSD, which should be sufficient.
Usually I rely on VM for testing purposes rather than for full usage or gaming. On Linux systems, VM could be preferable, but for Windows and gaming, a dual boot setup seems more suitable. Others might have different opinions, but based on my experience with both dual boot and VM, dual boot appears to be the better choice here.
You were right. In Windows you can allocate cores to the VM. Is this possible in Linux? I thought Linux running inside a Windows VM would run games better than the opposite. I’m not sure why. If you have plenty of space, a dual-boot setup might offer better performance.
These capabilities usually rely on the hypervisor, not the operating system. I’m considering a dual boot setup, and I might install a small 500GB SSD just for Windows.
