Huh ? I have "only" 4 GB of RAM, to share (to *dedicate*) to boith systems. Even if Windows may run on 2 GB RAM, I doubt that VM+Linux+Sage+whatever is needed to serve Jupyter would run on 2 GB RAM. Crawl, maybe.. Using the "old" notebook might be better here (the browser could run on the Windows side. But the main problem is the *dedication* (*fixed* allocation) of resources to each system. Hell, I don't even know how many execution threads my CPU has... Less important, but still a hurdle : configuring network-like communications between the two machines. I know how to do this from Liux, but I'm nit so at ease in Windows (I don't even know if Windows Home will let me create the necessary pseudo-adapter, aka tun device in Linux parlance...). More generally : I'm more or less competent on Linux, but hopeless in Windows. I may find my way around it, but that's not a pretty sight... My attempt is a temporary measure while waiting the availability of the necessary hardware support in Linux : as soon as this is available, I'll probably kiss Windows goodbye. > My experience with > Windows to date has been that for a technically sophisticated user who > cares about performance (like you), I'm more concerned by competence than by performance : for example, I'm not concerned by a few seconds more for a LaTeX compilation (a few minutes more would be another problem...) ; not having emacs or an useful (synctex-enabled) PDF viewer would be more of a concern, possibly a deal-breaker. > using VirtualBox is vastly > superior to WSL or Cygwin... > > William > Thanks for your advice.
