But native Windows (or at least Windows 10) is what I'd be trying to avoid by using Linux. Otherwise I might just as well have a dual-boot system and use Windows anyway.Originally posted by BR14 View PostMost UBUNTU flavours are pretty user friendly to install and run, and a VM like virtualbox or VMplayer would let you install native windows and run what you like. make sure there's plenty of RAM and an SSD would be good too.
I don't mind something like wine, which (AIUI) is a basic Windows framework. But I don't want all the bells and whistles running in the background slowing down everything and constantly sending data back to Microsoft.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
