Not really sure how dualbooting or vms work at their core. I’m kind of over windows and want to swap, always liked the customizability aspect and have been using Linux more and more for self hosting purposes. Was wondering if I setup linux on my external ssd using a vm if I could change it from vm to a dualboot drive after I’m done setting it up. That way I could setitup and swap to it while keepign my original ssd with my windows install,. and not have to deal with dualbooting and going back and forth while setting up?
Can I make a vm of my current windows machine backup and run that in a linux setup?
What is that
Used to play videogames now I spend days making reusable vfx that I never end up using, need to buy some interesting mocaps because I dont like hand animating ive come to find
Hollywood vfx, 3d procedural modeling software (also used for setting up game environments and a ton of other stuff), I enjoy using it, might someday buy it, but its only a hobby I make no money off so I pirate it
Yeah I’d definitely dual booting while you wet your toes if you want to go full linux, then run a windows vm of you cant find anyway to replace that.
I run a windows vm on my server for my 360 tour and editing stuff but everything else is on my main linux machine now
