Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

    Running Windows in VMWare Workstation: I do development work that really has to be done in Windows, so that’s where I spend my day. Even on my Windows machine, I keep the dev environment in a Virtual machine so that I can go anywhere with it, or use if from any machine with VMWare loaded.

    I find myself having to stay booted into my Windows Drive to run VMWare without a bunch of lag / weird issues. So at that point I just kept working from that drive and don’t really boot back to the Linux drive.

    I also seem to have a heck of a time seeing files on my NTFS drives from Linux.

    Some of this is probably the older Nvidia card that I have, and the fact that I run 3 monitors, and running VMWare on 3 monitors acts weird in Linux.
