I sometimes run windows as a VM. But generally just for specific software. Radio programming, some have only windows tools that won’t play ball with wine. They need the USB port passed through.
There’s also just some tools only viable in windows. But I generally have always gone for one step up from the current normal RAM amount because 1: Software development likes to eat ram and 2: I really don’t like to upgrade too often.
I was tempted to get an AMD 9070XT and maybe pass the 3080 to windows (since AMD is generally regarded better in Linux). Somehow (at least here in the UK) the prices haven’t gone up for that card yet.
But then I bought a load of radio stuff instead. :P

Yeah, my windows gaming VM is by far my highest utilization, but even that runs fine with 16GB of RAM out of 32.
Although I expect that to change once I get frigate up and running on a second GPU (Amazon accidentally sent me two)
