A 30-second screencast video of a Linux desktop, running a couple of OS Virtual Machines in windows - one with Windows, one with Mac OS Catalina. The Windows VM is running Adobe Lightroom Classic at full speed, very briskly switching between photos and providing a native experience.

   This is so much better than dual-booting.

   - Windows 11 running in KVM
   - Dedicated 2nd graphics card (cheap 1030)
   - ParsecVDA virtual display adapter, always on and passing video
   - Looking Glass for live-speed video
   - Creative Cloud and Lightroom working as though native
   - MacOS Catalina in a VM on the side just for fun
   - Upgraded to 64GB of RAM to make all this work.

   I won't be gaming on it, but it runs Lightroom just fine, which was my last holdout application I couldn't live without.

   After a quick check of my backups I can wipe my dual-boot Windows drive completely, finally!
