Thanks for the input. I tried Photoshop in a virtual environment previously and did not have great results, but I may not have set up the environment as well as I should have. I will give it another try. I do hope someone comes up with a good Linux solution for my little Nextbook Flex10. There is suppose to be some progress being made according to the forums.
i tried photoshop in virtual machine and it ran terrible- then i tried it in virtualbox, and it runs very well- but you have to have ‘guest editions’ installed in the virtual machine (or tools or whatever additions virtualbox calls it) so that the 3d works- it runs really pretty well in virtualbox- coudl never get it to run good in virtual machine though
