What has keeping me back is that not all the programs I run will run on Linux, so I need to figure out how to properly allocate RAM and HardDrive space to a virtual machine running Windows.
I did that before in the past using virtual box, but the memory allocation process is completely foreign to me on Linux systems (as if I even managed to understand it on Windows when I got it to work there.)
Yeah I see. I'd imagine you only need to allocate 2 or 3 gigs to run a lite version of Linux. Then you just gonna make a decision on what's more important to you. Security vs ease of access to same programs. Shouldn't be a tradeoff but it is
I've been heavily considering it.
