DISCLAIMER: I don't personally use any Windows software, nor do I mean to advocate for its use on this mailing list. However, the following recommendations should be sufficiently generic to apply to any hosted OS that a user wants to install. Have you considered just installing Guix System as your main OS and then running Windows in a virtual machine? That way you don't need to reboot your computer to run non-Linux applications, and you don't have to ever let Windows out of its little sandbox. Guix provides numerous options when it comes to setting up virtual machines. Here are some of the main contenders: - virt-manager (uses libvirt-service-type) - qemu - ganeti - xen - bochs Have fun and happy hacking! ~Gary -- GPG Key ID: 7BC158ED Use `gpg --search-keys lambdatronic' to find me Protect yourself from surveillance: https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org ======================================================================= () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments Why is HTML email a security nightmare?
