Hello, I am running linux mint on a VM (VMWare), and I get freezes when opening applications or opening a file via something like vscode.

#

The freezing happens for a couple seconds and then works

rose shoal check that virtualization support is on in the CPU advanced settings in BIOS

bios of the vm or my host?

#

im not sure what you are directing me to here

#

vm has no bios

#

go in real bios n check for vt-x vt-d, or similar wording

#

Cant really do that, its a work laptop

#

you cant enter the bios to check?

earnest tulip May 27, 2025, 9:21 PM

#

my host is a Windows

#

any other way to check?

#

reboot the real machine. at startup splash it should show a message near bottom for 'enter setup' or 'enter bios'

#

or google the key for that brand of pc to enter bios

#

then pop in and check, unless bios is admin-guarded

#

rose shoal May 27, 2025, 9:30 PM
