I tried running Arch Linux on both VirtualBox and VMware Player on my Windows machine at work and Compton's performance is terrible. It's strange because it runs so well on VMware Fusion on my MacBook. Can someone recommend a better way to virtualize Linux desktop with composition in Windows?
- robinduckett 10y agoUse VMWare workstation?
- wila 10y agoNah, VMware Player and VMware Workstation use the exact same engine. If you are having performance problems with VMware Player and are using either AVG of Avast antivirus then the problem might be the antivirus.

- i336_ 10y agoI was very curious so I read through that thread. One person found that turning Avast's Behavior Shield off helped. But with AVG... wow. AVG ships with a disabled-by-default "Use HW assisted virtualization" option buried in its settings. As in, install AVG and it turns that off systemwide until you turn it back on. Yay!
