Hello!, I was wondering (sorry about this, i’m no Einstein) what can one do with a virtual machine? what I mean by that is what cool things could one do? maybe use it to play older games, perhaps even make it a storage medium?. I personally like to use applications/games on vm’s (im also love customizing the whole thing, artist impulse). Do any of you have any suggestions? thank you for your input.

    I use them to try out things safely. Whether it’s abandonware I found somewhere or an obscure OS I want to try that either doesn’t match up with hardware I own or something that I only want to use briefly

      great idea, while I don’t dabble in unknown software myself, that is a really smart way to do it, thank you!
