Can always run a linux distro with a windows VM in virtualbox to access those softwares when you need them.

I do the exact opposite rn but my plan is to switch them… whenever I get around to it…

Ya i totally could and tried that out in the past but it added so much extra time and complication to it all that I found it just didn’t make sense for me to work that way. Dual boot is a pain but if im doing any serious graphic design stuff I usually just boot into windows.

Photopea is amazing though and has cut down the need to dualboot by more than half for me :)

Yeah dual boot is probably also bad long term for your drives if you switch frequently enough.

I havent switched the host and guest either because of how much work will have to go into configuring so I get that too.

Just looked up photopea and that’s interesting I’ll have to try it out!
