Why would you want that on Linux? We already have qemu KVM which can be used via libvirt. Just install virtual manager and be done with it.
Slow down. VMware can be one click and done. All these alternatives and extras and configurations are the reason windows people don’t try Linux. Don’t over complicate a simple thing. If they want new or more they can figure that out at a later date.
Lol really? Edit: oh! My bad thought this was something else. Gimme a minute I’ll run through it
Unfortunately not. But I’d imagine flawless. You know of a free way to test?
I’ve been on mint for a while. Here’s a tip for anyone who needs some windows apps that won’t work in Linux.
VM workstation 17 is free and is fast as balls. With plug and play pass through too.
Oooo thanks! I’ll take a look. I’m in the process of making a multiboot external drive.
I’d just want a file explorer and Firefox to run. That’s all I ask for.
Cause I don’t know what OS/2 Warp is. Is that IBMs?
Like Ninite but for distros. Man…that sounds so easy of a concept. Shocking that no one has made that.
I read all this. God damn, I thought root canal procedure was a pain…
I’m a systems engineer, I do sometimes forget common knowledge isn’t everyone’s knowledge with IT stuff.
Anecdotally: I worked from home today, my primary laptop is Linux mint. Helldivers 2 wouldn’t start, seems an update broke the settings I had. I tried a couple generic fixes through terminal and started getting huffy because everything would be easier if I just used windows. Non of this would be happening if I just took the blue pill…about 30 minutes in I turned off steam sync for saved games and suddenly it all worked again.
Moral of the story: sometimes Linux isn’t this complicated beast, and it’s as simple as something that even windows would have a problem with. It’s only difficult until you figure out the problem. Windows is a necessary evil some of the time but never all of the time.
Just keep swimming. You’ll figure it out. Not trying is being lazy and complacent.
Oh am I not banned anymore?
I was banned from this group because I called y’all out.
I will say that depending on a distro, there may be more growing pains than others. Like Elementary OS vs MInt vs PopOS
Edit: elementary being behind on versioning, and popOS being the most versatile out of the box.
Yep. If I could have a true steamOS that had no desktop mode that would be 60% of my home life. I have an 1135g7 32gb ram laptop for Mint.
VMware requires you to click on the downloaded install and click yes a bunch of times before it’s finished.
