I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Some software doesn't run good in a VM (CPU / RAM usage)

How would you share files between Linux host and Windows guest? Samba sucks, I only get 2-6 MB/s transfer with it

>>61429400
more people do that than you think. they just hate to admit they also use windows to play games because of the stigma in the linux community.

it may ransomware-proof you for a while (until linux becomes popular and a target too)

>letting systemd phone home
Good goy

>>61429467
virtualbox has a shared folder feature, you can access the host files within the VM

>>61429477
Linux being or not popular isn't the reason for the lack of Ransomware, a lot of enterprise sensitive information is stores in Linux based servers (Red Hat mostly)

>>61429467
pass 4 cores and you are good

>>61429514
I don't use Virtualbox.

>>61429540
Can't run CAD or Games in it either way.

>>61429467
I can run adobe cs6 suite without much trouble over virtualbox

>>61429582
Or video editing*

Siemens NX runs natively on Linux

>>61429609
But I'm not making airplane jet engines.

It will be the next thing once gpu passthrough becomes feasible. Unless microsoft pull off some evil shit.

>>61429741
If you need entry level CAD then Draftsight is a good choice.

>>61429845
Nvidia already did in order to force the users to buy Quadro GPUs instead of regular Geforces

>>61429400
I use Wubi installed on windows, (Wubi cause I don't feel like having an IV of technical knowledge to constantly stuff down my throat)
But wait, I never use it, nor do I use my live USB, or my other computer with Linux, CAUSE WINDOWS IS A CAPABLE OPERATING SYSTEM AND IS BETTER THAN LINUX

Shut the fuck up Stallman

ive seen you moisturize your toes

>>61429400
That sounds like a lot of work. I'd rather just use Linux.
