Hi: I am making progress in my effort to just-not-care what underlying OS I am using. Brendan Kidwell suggestion to install OpenShell was absolutely essential. Now I feel like I can find things fast with my one-column classic format. "Just look for the .exe" is my motto. Thus my windows NUC can run Gimp and Inkscape. My next transition is to make sure content I am creating is available on all my machines, in other words, storing content on a shared device (Dropbox, Box, or Google Drive, not sure yet). With the same software and the same files, I can work on the same content using a MacBook or a Windows 10 NUC.
Thanks for your suggestions, Doug On Sat, Jul 25, 2020 at 12:16 PM Rich Braun <[email protected]> wrote: > Jabr does this: > > > [I run] Windows in a KVM/qemu VM on a separate CentOS rackmount server > > Last year I built a new Windows 10 VM to replace the Win 7 VM I’d used for > things like tax software for the last couple decades.
