Yeah, I need to try it out again. When it first came out I tried it and things like RethinkDB and Redis wouldn't start-up on it.

Its on my list to try again and see if they've made it better.

Or the other way around - Windows under kvm on Linux.

You ever tried to do photo manipulation, graphic design, or video editing in a virtualized OS? It is miserable. There is a reason I said I was dual booting and not running virtualization :)

I use GPU passthrough and run games in Windows under KVM with equal or slightly less (~3-5%) frames. Photo manipulation and graphic design work fine in Photoshop in my setup. Not so sure about video editing.

I haven’t used Windows in a while. Do you still have to run your own virus scanner or is it built in now ?

Windows Defender is built-in and is good enough IMHO. But AFAIK you can still install something else on top, if you don't trust Microsoft.
