If you have the hardware for it, VFIO setups can be amazing. I've been running graphics accelerated Windows inside a VM for a few months now, and apart for some random crashes, it's perfect.
I've been using Capture One (lightroom alternative) and Affinity Photo 2 inside the VM and it's been great.
Haven't really tried video editing, but it might not be as great.
- duckmysick 2y agoHow exactly does graphic acceleration work when you run a VM? Do you need two graphic cards (one for the host, another for the guest)? Edit: to contribute a little to the grandparent question - I have Windows on QEMU for the Office suite and it works pretty smoothly. I had to make some config changes, most of them outlined in these reddit threads: https://www.reddit.com/r/qemu_kvm/comments/18z8609/qemu_windows_10_and_cpu_topology/ https://www.reddit.com/r/qemu_kvm/comments/18z8609/qemu_wind... https://www.reddit.com/r/ChromeOSFlex/comments/ucno4b/qemukvm_virtmanager_windows_vm_very_slow/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ChromeOSFlex/comments/ucno4b/qemukv... I also disabled animations in Windows settings because everything felt clunky. No crashes, clipboard and shared folders work fine after installing guest tools.
- ykonstant 2y agoVery good info, I am also planning to set something up over QEMU.
