    Adobe CC is the absolute only thing holding me to Windows on my primary machine. Please, I’d love to hear about your setup and workflow.

      I just have a beast of a machine that has more RAM than I know what to do with.

      I have a VM of windows 10 that runs in my 4th monitor at all times, it’s got 32 gigs of RAM and 2tb of storage. I have another VM that I only run for rendering which uses my whole GPU as passthru. (Having just the 1 windows VM do that interferes with gaming 😁).

      I use my NAS for project folders and both VMs have access to the NAS.

          No problem!

          The Windows VM is running in virtualBox. There’s a few options there, but virtualBox is easy. All you do is download a windows 10 install iso from microsoft, and then build the VM with virtualBox on your Linux system. That’s pretty much it. Windows install will ask for your key. I forget they place I got mine, I’m sure the sketchy markets are sketchy, so be careful/prudent.
