Comment on Windows Updated and is Pushing More Stuff
metaStatic@kbin.social 10 months agoI switched to Pop!_OS recently and Windows runs faster in a VM
(because you've only installed the 1 app you need to run not your entire life, and then snapshot it after debloating so it's always the same)

Yeah, I think I am going to setup a VM. I only need it for work due to Windows apps that would work just fine in a VM.
I am actually considering Qubes OS, which might take some work but overall would probably be a good seamless process.
How do you like Pop!_OS? I was looking at System76 computers one day and looked into it a couple years ago. Never gave it a try though, based off Ubuntu right?

Ubuntu/Debian base yeah.
It just worked out of the box for me and runs everything that kept me locked to windows so I've stuck with it.
I've run Handbrake in a VM because the linux version doesn't allow setting the default folder for some reason but otherwise haven't needed Windows in months. and as long as I don't need to do anymore bulk trascoding I've probably seen the last of it.
