I have a Lenovo Y510p having 8GB of Ram, 4th Generation Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GeForce GT755M GDDR5 2GB, and 1TB of HDD. It has Win8 on it. I need to use Ubuntu also. So i am thinking of dual booting this system. I will use Windows for all Game Playing (Not a big fan of Wine), and C++ and C# Visual Studio Development, and Ubuntu for all other stuff, mostly pyhton scripting. However i stumbled upon this Is it better to dual-boot or run a VM? and am now confused. Should i install VM on windows and run Ubuntu on it whenever needed. I have given all my uses cases and the system specifications...I am not sure about performance of Win 8 on either of the cases...Both the use cases (games, Visual Studio on Windows 8, and Python on Ubuntu will be intensive)
Any Suggestions
Or if you don't use Ubuntu fully as an OS but simply for programming, you could always use Cygwin – Darius – 2013-10-24T12:34:44.757
