My plan is to buy an NVMe today, install linux as a dual boot, but use linux as a daily driver, to see if it meets my needs before committing to it.
My main needs are gaming, local AI (stable diffusion and oobabooga), and browser stuff.
I have experience with Mint (recently) and Ubuntu (long ago). Any problems with my plan? Will my OS choice meet my needs?
Thanks!
Can’t have WSL without Windows Pro.
Would rather avoid spending $100 just to enable virtual machines.
WSL is available on Windows Home.
You’re thinking about HyperV, not the “Virtual Machine Platform”, the former require Pro+, and the latter is available on all (needs to be enabled), and is what enabled WSL, Docker, VirtualBox in HyperV.
Bad naming IMO and misused by many vendors.
