Unique challenge of dual-booting Dilemma arises when combining systems Problem highlights compatibility issues
You could set up a dual-boot configuration where both OSes are ready to launch instantly without needing a full restart. This would let you switch between Windows and Linux based on the logged-in user, even if they’re different people. Since your system has an i5 quad-core processor and a decent SSD, it should handle the transition smoothly. You’d need to configure the boot order in BIOS/UEFI and possibly use a lightweight virtualization tool or a custom boot manager to manage the seamless switch.
Running both operating systems means you must split your storage into two separate partitions and start from one, which usually requires turning off one system before switching to another. The only practical solution I noticed is connecting two computers using software such as Synergy.
I thought so, but if there was a method to keep the VM running smoothly, that would be ideal... I believe Linux would work well alongside Windows for maximum performance, though *cough* "Linux" isn't compatible. Even when idle, it's extremely sluggish, and the mouse struggles to move across the screen.
Your current VM setup works well. Performance issues usually stem from GPU-related problems. Consider enabling remoteFX in Hyper-V and trying a distribution such as Fedora 28.
Appreciate the VMWare Workstation 14 support! Let's explore what we can achieve.
Typically the virtual GPU is limited. Switching to an RDP or VNC server might improve performance since the display isn't handled by the VM itself.
