Microsoft is ruining Windows. It just keeps getting worse. Whether it be their insistence on AI and cloud garbage, or just a general sense of incompetence, I can’t help but feel like the operating system has seen better days.

Normally I wouldn’t care too much, big tech ruins another thing, whatever.

But the problem is Microsoft has such a dominant market share that you can’t really escape them.

    To have any chance of doing serious CAD work in a VM you are going to need to set up GPU passthrough so the guest OS can access the GPU directly. AFAIK Virtualbox doesn’t do this. Some hints about further research can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU_virtualization.
