And I have yet to find a full replacement on Linux (it’s the plugins that I miss).

Running Windows in VMWare Workstation: I do development work that really has to be done in Windows, so that’s where I spend my day. Even on my Windows machine, I keep the dev environment in a Virtual machine so that I can go anywhere with it, or use if from any machine with VMWare loaded.

I find myself having to stay booted into my Windows Drive to run VMWare without a bunch of lag / weird issues. So at that point I just kept working from that drive and don’t really boot back to the Linux drive.

I also seem to have a heck of a time seeing files on my NTFS drives from Linux.

Some of this is probably the older Nvidia card that I have, and the fact that I run 3 monitors, and running VMWare on 3 monitors acts weird in Linux.

Had the same thing happen on one of my servers. Got up one day a few weeks ago and the server was suspended (luckily the hosting provider unsuspended it for me quickly).

It’s mostly business sites, but we do have an old personal blog on there with a lot of travel pictures on it, and 4 or 5 AI bots were just pounding it. Went from 300GB per month average to 5TB on August, and 10/11 TB in September and October.
