   I have the impression a lot of people run Windows on a VM on their Linux   
   OS. I once experimented with VirtualBox on a Windows PC, but it was   
   complicated (although I followed steps provided by a YT video) and I   
   felt like I didn't have enough RAM.

   It's difficult to imagine for me. I probably need another YT vid. (-:

   I know if tin and - a very long time ago - I experimented with Hamster.
