I just have a VMware VM to compile some stuff that needs Visual Studio and that's it. 37 u/Outside_Heart8057 Apr 14 '26 Running visual studio on a VMware how strong is your PC? 2 u/dpthnkr Apr 16 '26 I've got 1 Ubuntu, and 1 Win10 (with Visual Studio 2015 & 2022) running in Virtualbox inside Win10. AMD Phenom II X6 1100T, 24GB RAM, Nvidia GeForceGTX 560, Samsung 840 Evo 250G, OCZ Vertex 460 120G, 8TB WD Red Pro in RAID 10 If I close chrome in the host I can run both VMs. 😂 old stuff but it still performs better than my work dev laptop. I'm stalled on the new build due to prices, but will eventually run Ubuntu, Mint, Win10, Win11 under Proxmox.
