Posted November 27, 2016 So, I've tried installing ubuntu 16.0.01(I think thats the version) I gave 4gb and 2 cores from my i5 2500k. when I tested ubuntu browsing and watching videos it was kinda sluggish. I was wondering if I gave all 4 cores to my Ubuntu VM will my windows 10 host be okay? there won't be any load from windows maybe the occasional downloads in the background but that's about it since I'll be using Ubuntu as my daily driver. I tried dual booting as well but for some reason ubuntu doesn't let me proceed to the installation so I just gave up and made a VM (it gives me an installation loop thing) CPU: I5 7400 | Motherboard: MSI H110M | RAM: 16GB G-Skill 2400mhz | GPU: NVIDIA MSI Gaming 4G GTX 970 | Case: Tecware Quad | Cooling: Stock| Storage: Kingston 120gb SSD, 1TB Drive , | PSU: Seasonic 620 Watt 80+ Bronze Full Modular | Display: Devant 50 Inch Smart TV | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 27, 2016 Might aswell give it all the cores, no reason not to. For the sluggishness, what are you using to run the vm? Do you have the gpu drives installed? Id give it more gpu ram.

Posted November 27, 2016 I wonder if VMware has GPU/PCIe pass through fully functioning; so you can use a second GPU & monitor ☼ ψ ︿_____︿_ψ_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 2, 2016 Btw what do you mean by watching a video on your guest? Why don't you just watch it in your host OS, which will be absolutely perfect like hell?

I'm also trying to learn ubuntu's interface and troubleshoot for a few months its like training myself. as someone who works in the IT industry its kinda frustrating knowing the fact that you only know windows, windows server and a bit of OS X so I've challenged myself in learning ubuntu and other linux distros.

Posted December 22, 2016 I think you should just install Ubuntu on another partition or separate HDD/SSD, which will be just fine, rather than trying to figure things out in a VM. Installing is easy like hell, and if you want the best comfortability, partition your HDD in GPT table and install them in UEFI mode, then whenever you encounter with a problem, it would never affect your Windows partition. If you have any trouble working with UEFI I can help.
