It's not. It only useful as humor to advanced users of Linux. If you're just an average user and are happy with Windows, just stick with that.
The Linux vm is extremely light weight and hardly uses any resources. But yes, it would run at the same time. At least you won't have to constantly switch and reboot. What is the point of running Linux and trying to make a point that it is stable and then use wine to run windows apps that are anything but stable due to the emulation.
Fair, I guess I did not know how many super capable, high flying elite coders and programmers we have on this forum who all must have Linux because Windows does not satisfy their customization needs, lol. I suspect most are hopeless wannabees and MS haters who did not get the message that all professional coders who might use Linux at work still fully bought into the Microsoft ecosystem, whether they want or not. Github is Microsoft owned. The world's most popular script editor and developer IDE as well as cross platform developer tool, visual studio code, is fully Microsoft owned and created, mind you. Good developers understand that all this stuff are just tools to get a job done, nobody cares about who created those tools nor what past track record the creators have. Anyone who spends hours if not days and weeks at tweaking some IDE specific settings is just wasting their own time but don't want to admit it.
Running two systems at the same time... Managed by Bill gates... Wine programs... Dear me, and this is the guy that sports cryptos on the forum. Everything makes sense.
Security. Even Microsoft recommends users of Windows 11 to install a virus scanner. Same state we were in back in 1995. They are basically admitting that their operating system is so vulnerable, that you need 3rd party software that continuously eats up resources, running in the background to find all the crap that might be happening on your system. That's pathetic.
Yes that's right, and I stand behind what I said 100%. I personally don't like bill gates. You odviously do and think everyone should too. Just like you think running two systems at the same time is a good idea, while I think it is a horrible idea. Same way I think crypto is a good idea, and you think bad idea. Honestly who gives a shit what others think? I'm not your daddy, go believe whatever you want.
Link please how Microsoft itself says that without 3rd party virus scanner windows 11 is too vulnerable to operate without. I only use the built in security features for years now and never ever have experienced a single vulnerability, identity theft, Phishing, or other hacks or intrusions. But then I also don't watch porn or do any other stupid sort of things.
You can completely sandbox (aka isolate) anything that runs within the subsystem or virtual machine. You clearly don't know as much as others on this topic. And Bill Gates for many years has not the slightest say of what is going on at Microsoft. You must have been sleeping throughout the last decade. Too funny when ill informed people believe they have sufficient acumen to throw Windows out of the window (no pun intended) but don't understand the first thing about operating systems and the companies that create and maintain them.
You have no clue about professional usage of a system. The CPU is needed for real work, it shall not waste CPU cycles for silly desktop management. Imagine running a highly parallelized simulation program (producer/consumer concept; for example searching the optimal params by using brute force combinatorial searching) that uses 20 SW-threads on a 8core CPU, and that runs in the background for many minutes, or hours, or even days, depending on the size of the problem space... For example find the best options trade(s) among 500 tickers with all their options (say 8 ExpDates with each having 10 strikes each for Call and Put). Now combine that all together in a construct that covers Stock, Call, Put, Cash and Quantities from 0 to say 10 (meaning 0 to 1000 in practice, ie. 0 to 10 contracts), to cover practically any combination possible. The address space (ie. the # of combinations) goes into multi-millions... I need my CPU for solving such problems, not for making a fancy & silly GUI...
Folks, please be on-topic. This thread is about Trading on the Linux operating system. Windows fan-bois with their off-topic crap should go away as they disturb the very nature of this thread.
