Anyone use this as a daily driver? I tried installing it and it crashed on first run. Should have looked at the list of compatible laptop models first. It’s a bit overkill for my needs. My threat model doesn’t require me to spawn a disposable Fedora VM just to read a PDF document. I just open a PDF in Google Docs.

I have been using it for over 5 years for all personal things like email, banking, and paying bills. Once you find good hardware for the OS, it runs very well, but you either need a lot of memory or to close each VM as soon as you're done with it and run only one-two VMs at a time. I would say minimum of 16 GB RAM with 32-64 GB preferred.
