Not really sure how dualbooting or vms work at their core. I’m kind of over windows and want to swap, always liked the customizability aspect and have been using Linux more and more for self hosting purposes. Was wondering if I setup linux on my external ssd using a vm if I could change it from vm to a dualboot drive after I’m done setting it up. That way I could setitup and swap to it while keepign my original ssd with my windows install,. and not have to deal with dualbooting and going back and forth while setting up?

Can I make a vm of my current windows machine backup and run that in a linux setup?

      off topic, but I saw you mentioned vr on other post so wondering wether you considered setting up vr mocap? For casual hobbyist like me stuff like glycon3d in enticing though I don’t know what type of mocap you’re after.

        I just don’t enjoy the animation part that much, I like combining existing mocaps and then adding vfx, where I spend 75% of my time.

          Thats fair. TBH mocap data cleanup is also a hassle and I haven’t decided to delve deeper into that. CMU has mocap data with permissive license you may find it interesting if you haven’t already.

        Havent put my headset on in over a year now that I think about it, ill check out glycon 3d, I want a user mocpa library version of mixamo, I feel like enough ppl have suits and do this as a hobby that theyd be down to upload some free ones at least. The only platforms that exist don’t let ppl sell/list their own in an easy/consistent way.
