I have a few games that won’t work on virtual machines, at least not with WINE. I need to figure out how to setup a virtual box I guess

I have a few apps that work with WINE. The best part of the Virtual boxes is that once loaded and set up one can clone it and then use that cloned VB. Should the clone crap out, just kill it. Then go back to the initial VB, clone it again and you are off and running again in under 10 minutes. No more hours of loading software and rebooting over and over.

Getting the first VB set up is a bit of a learning experience, but after that a real time saver. VBs can be easily moved to another computer. As always, backing up data is a good idea.j
