minus-squarekhar21@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 days agoWindows VMs don’t perform well, maybe virtio can fix their awful drivers, but until then that’s a waste of time. Sorry for being crude, but I hate the linux culty gaslighting.
minus-squareCeeBee_Eh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 days agoIt depends what you’re using it for. If it’s gaming, then it’s a no. But OP above didn’t say gaming. A Windows VM is fine for general tasks, but that naturally depends on the host system and how many resources you give the VM.
minus-squarekhar21@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 days agoThe performance is horrible for me, even for simple things like word processing, the cursor lag and choppyness makes it extremely frustrating for me. Ive tried virtio, qxl, vga, and rdp. Rdp is the only one that’s usable for me and it’s still awful. The only time it hasn’t been bad for me is with GPU passthrough, but that’s a huge pain, and I’d rather dual boot instead.
minus-squareCeeBee_Eh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 days agoThat’s not normal. That suggests some issue in the virtualization config, or maybe your proc doesn’t support virtualization or something. Aside from graphically heavy things, a VM should only incur a minor overhead compared to the host. Word processing should function just fine.
