Is it possilbe to run Linux Ubuntu and Windows 7 together without using virtualbox?

Question

A while ago I was at a LAN and this guy was able to run Linux and Windows at the same time and in order to switch between the OS' he used a hotkey on his keyboard and it did this whole animation thing between Linux and Windows. How would I go by doing this, if possible?

Answer 1

He was using virtual box. And he was in the seamless mode of Virtual Box. In seam less mode - both the host OS and guest OS works in such a manner that it seems those two are actually running at the same time. With a hot key you can switch between the OSs.

Answer 2

"Or are homestead windows utility coded so Linux can not study them..." that's suitable. maximum Linux Distros incorporate Open place of work, and the GIMP, the two super unfastened alternatives to MS-be conscious and PhotoShop factors. And WINE can run a constrained form of homestead windows video games natively., as indexed right here:

Answer 3

It's called Seamless Mode in VirtualBox. To enable it, install the Guest Additions on your guest OS, restart it, and enable Seamless Mode by going to Machine > Seamless Mode.



Note that VirtualBox's Seamless Mode is often spotty and annoying. For better seamless mode-like capability, you might want to use VMWare instead.
