PC specs:

i5 7600 Nvidia Titan Xp (recently upgraded from RX 580, solidworks worked the same) 28GB RAM OpenSUSE Tumbleweed Virtualbox Virtualising Windows 10 SolidWorks 2018 (older versions worked fine too, i didn’t try new versions but i dont see why it wouldnt work)

Until recently i dual booted, theres not a big difference in performance.

I recommend putting both Linux and Windows on an SSD
