Post Body

Hi there,

I have tried on multiple times to run linux as my main operating system and I always end up leaving it due to the frustrations of installing GPU drivers or something as simple as, turning off mouse acceleration.

One thing I really would like to have is the command line features that linux has to offer..

Now my question is, are there any downsides to running a distro in a VM, other than it may be a tad slower? I really would love to be able to use tools like wget to download from the vm to my windows machine, hell, even my server.

Thanks for viewing.
