How to combine 2-3 systems on one machine?

Question

linux

Working in Linux or Mac OS periodically requires software like photoshop and other products from adobe (like after effect, etc.)
Actually, the question is, how best to simplify the task of accessing such software?
Using virtual machines? wine? Reboot every time and select the desired OS? Something other?
The option of buying licenses for mac os is not considered, we consider that all licenses are for windows.

Answer 1

If you are on a Mac then Parallels is what you need. Like a virtual machine, only more integrated. In the worst case, you can open Windows windows on the OS X desktop

Answer 2

With such wine applications it is better to forget. Virtualka - it is doubtful, but I do not presume to judge. In my opinion, a standalone Windows installation is best.

Answer 3

Only a virtual machine in KVM or VirtualBox - well, if it works, of course, because virtual machines are a virtual video camera (although there is an option with a second monitor, a second video camera and its direct forwarding to the virtual machine). Right now, this is how Windows works for me for domain management tasks through Windows snap-ins and other software such as outglyuk. True, the memory on the computer should be like two - how much is needed for linux and how much for Windows. Well, of course, percent with hardware virtualization.

Answer 4

In this case, it is better to use Windows as the main system and Linux in the virtual machine.
