I’m having the hardest tine setting up a shared folder between a Linux host and Win11guest. I want to get rid of dual boot, but there are a few programs that I use which are Win only. I have set up a VB VM, but I want a fine tuned KVM VM. On VB sharing is trivial, but I can’t get it to work in KVM. I have the host sharing the folder with Samba, and can see it from another Linux VM, but not from windows. Any clues?

    Some people have, with not great results. The software is the Affinity suite (design, photo, publishing, and I have used Inkscape, Gimp, and Scribus, but they aren’t there yet for me) A windows VM is fine for now, but VB is a bit sluggish. My aim is to set-up a physical partition for the VM, and try GPU passthough.

      There is or was a project called WinApps i think that made it easy to set up a VM to run some applications.
