At this point I just have a windows 10 VM for using Adobe. Got a key for like $7 on some sketchy site.

And I was actually kinda liking windows 11, but it's just clear where this is headed.

Adobe CC is the absolute only thing holding me to Windows on my primary machine. Please, I'd love to hear about your setup and workflow.

I just have a beast of a machine that has more RAM than I know what to do with.

I have a VM of windows 10 that runs in my 4th monitor at all times, it's got 32 gigs of RAM and 2tb of storage. I have another VM that I only run for rendering which uses my whole GPU as passthru. (Having just the 1 windows VM do that interferes with gaming 😁).

I use my NAS for project folders and both VMs have access to the NAS.

I appreciate it, thank you for the explanation!

No problem!

The Windows VM is running in virtualBox. There's a few options there, but virtualBox is easy. All you do is download a windows 10 install iso from microsoft, and then build the VM with virtualBox on your Linux system. That's pretty much it. Windows install will ask for your key. I forget they place I got mine, I'm sure the sketchy markets are sketchy, so be careful/prudent.

Looks like I've got my weekend project all lined up. Thanks again!

Isn’t qemu better?

I would just install a qemu VM on my proxxmox server and use Remote Desktop on my Linux, I guess
