I've been wanting to get back into the Linux game as I'm about to sell the only computer I had Linux on. I was wondering which setup would be better or recommended by users that have it here. If you could also support your reason why, I'd appreciate it. I have no plans to argue with you, just curious, that's all.
Virtual Box (VMware)
Windows on Hard Drive - Linux Virtual
Linux on Hard Drive - Windows Virtual
or
Dual-boot Linux & Windows
Note: The main reason I do not want dual boot is because there are programs and games that Linux simply will not run whether I use Wine to try to configure them or not. I do not want to have to change OS via booting due to that. For that reason, I've been leaning towards doing Linux in a virtual environment, but I do not know if Linux runs well in Virtual. I know that Windows does from my experiences at work.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit currently. Anyone have particular thoughts on a Gnome distro that's possibly better for a newer linux user? Thoughts and suggestions please. Thanks
