I’m feeling more tired about Windows, and the reason I haven’t switched yet to Linux is because I need some programs that only exist on Windows. But, at this point, I’m focusing on ditching these programs and finding alternatives for them…

Last year, I experienced Linux Mint, but, at least on my PC, it feels clunky when I need to do some little video editions and I found it more stable on Windows.

However, I’m going to try again Linux distros with a virtual box, but I’m a little “”“scared”“” to move on again to Linux Mint since my last experience with editing videos.

I don’t need an extremely powerful program to make these editions. Olive, or something like that, suits me perfectly. So, in your opinion, which distro should I try on one virtual box for my daily use for these purposes?

Making a dual boot, from your point of view, is problematic? I see so many different opinions about dual boot, but at this time, I don’t know what to think.

My pc

  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 2100GE with Radeon veja graphics

  • RAM: 8gb

      His CPU has integrated graphics. He can do full passthrough.

      Now, if he’s doing that with a Type 2 hypervisor, I suspect the performance will still be lackluster for video editing, if it’s even supported.

      Which means he’s also going to have to learn to use KVM.

        Did OP mention a dedicated GPU? I’d assume a rather low end 2100GE wouldn’t likely be paired with a dGPU.

      I’m probably wrong, but isn’t supposed to work if my CPU have a iGPU and I have a GPU? I genuinely ask, I’m not sure.
