Topic: Anybody actually using MemoQ in a Linux-hosted VM?

Post title: YMMV
Don't bother with Wine for running memoQ.
I had tested memoQ in a Windows 10 VM and it works fine. Having plenty of RAM helps.
However, if you're going to use memoQ or another Windows-based solution as your primary CAT tool from inside a VM, I think you'll find the overall experience to be slighty worse than running it from Windows directly.
I wouldn't like to work from a VM most of the time. I find it tolerable only for occasional use, where the bulk of the translation is done on a native Linux CAT like CafeTran.
However, YMMV.
My suggestion: if resources allow it, keep the dual booting setup and also install memoQ from a Windows VM on your Linux. Test it and see if the convenience of using memoQ daily from a VM in your Linux distro outweighs the convenience of running it directly from Windows.
