I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise software I don’t really use.

I also am more familiar with the Apple ecosystem than the Microsoft one so maybe I’m just oblivious to what’s out there. Does anyone out there dual boot or use a VM for a non-game, non-niche industry Windows exclusive program?

    Just because I didn’t see you respond about it, Piper is great, so I second that user’s recommendation! I highly recommend you check to see if your peripherals are supported, as I use it on my Logitech mice to edit my mappings, DPI settings, and profiles (and while I don’t use the function, you can edit your LEDs in Piper as well). https://github.com/libratbag/piper

      I actually didn’t even notice that one. I guess all the recommendations sort of blended together! xD

      Thanks for the heads-up! Haha.
