T3X4S Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.Occasionally, I will put a Linux distro on my computer as a VM just to play around and slowly learn.I dont like ubuntu's GUI, and for the last 2 years have just used mint. Because of a problem I ran into w/ installing VMWare tools with mint - I decided to try Zorin. I am still a complete newb when it comes to linux so anytime something pops up, I have to go research.After the initial install, I installed VmWare Tools, and rebooted. Everything is delayed. If I click on something, just waiting for any kind of repsonse (a window to open, a command, a program to start) is delayed a bit.In the VM config I put 4GB RAM on it and 4 CPU cores, and all of my VMs are installed on a SSD.Is there a common/known issue causing this, or should I just wipe it and re-install ?Is Zorin a little sluggish ia what Im asking I guess ?

Max Norris Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I had 8.1 going in VMWare Workstation a week or two ago just out of curiosity, seemed to run fine for me, more or less on par with other distros. (It wasn't for me though.. didn't care for it.) Haven't tried the RC 9 build however.. always possible it's a bug. From what I read 9 is built upon Ubuntu 14.04, and I do know that one runs without issue too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3X4S Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 OK Thanks to you both. I decided to scrap Zorin and installed latest mint - no problems thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
