I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise software I don’t really use.

I also am more familiar with the Apple ecosystem than the Microsoft one so maybe I’m just oblivious to what’s out there. Does anyone out there dual boot or use a VM for a non-game, non-niche industry Windows exclusive program?

    Tell me about it.

    I also use deadbeef because of the plug-in support, although I haven’t experienced much lag myself.

    The media library management definitely doesn’t come anywhere close to FB2K, though, sadly.

      The media library is the ONE reason I haven’t switched to Deadbeef. Everything else seems close enough.

      Annoyingly, there is apparently an updated Medialib plugin for Deadbeef, but only on the Mac, since the dev is a Mac person.
