For photoshop/illustrator, windows vm's work just fine. I will say though, I snagged affinity's photo/designer bundle last black friday and have been very, very impressed at how performant they are.
Shame they don't have native linux support really.
- lyu07282 3y agoHow do you get 3d acceleration to work in Photoshop in a windows vm? Using the latest virtualbox with opengl enabled and the creative cloud, Photoshop doesn't work properly at all. The only way I can think of is using GPU passthrough but that's still very iffy
- MattPalmer1086 3y agoIn the past I could only get 3d acceleration working in VMware. Had so many issues on virtualbox.
- jtriangle 3y agoKVM GPU passthrough, use an AMD GPU, fairly simple, plenty of guides out there because Linux gaming is such a thing at the moment. Works fine.
- lyu07282 3y agoI've done that in the past but it wasn't very reliable, it seems incredibly easy to leave the GPU in an inconsistent state requiring a reboot, I've found IOMMU pass-through is absolutely not reliable enough in a professional or "poweruser" setting. But I'm sure it works fine for gaming and more casual users who use Arch Linux or something where reliably doesn't matter anyway.
- jtriangle 3y agoWorks much better if the host system is using the igpu and the VM has exclusive access to the real gpu. "sharing" GPU's is folly.
