On my main desktop at home, I go the other way: Run Linux in a VB on a Windows 10 host. It works fine. I do have a dedicated Linux laptop for when I really want that, but I basically never need it. I really only use it when I plan to be mobile, and plan to be primarily doing something like coding... but even then I really don't NEED it... The VB solution works fine. Frankly, since I installed Windows 10 in August, it has already bluescreened on me more than windows 7 did in the entire 5-someodd years I ran Windows 7... It seems to be pretty stable now after a whole bunch of updates and downgrading a video driver, but... I kinda miss Windows 7. There are some UI dfferences in windows 10 that I frankly hate, and customizing things seems to have gotten harder. Or impossible even (at least by ordinary means). :( OTOH, I'm not loving a lot of the Linux desktop changes either... like ultra-thin scrollbars (and/or overlay scrollbars) that seem to be a favorite of at least some distros now... There's been more than one occasion when I thought, "Jeez, I should really just install fvwm and run startx from the console, be done with this..." -- Derek D.
