[Mesa-users] MESA Docker

[Evan Bauer]

Hi Ian,

This is a great question. I’ll try to add a feature that makes this easier once I can test things out on my Windows machine. I’m traveling right now, so I probably can’t get to it for a few weeks. If you want to try editing the windows home script yourself, it looks like there are some interesting suggestions that might work on this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33933107/change-docker-machine-location-windows <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33933107/change-docker-machine-location-windows>

Windows 10 Pro will definitely make all of this easier, and things will also run much more efficiently than Windows 10 Home, but in general I would have to recommend making a Linux partition as the best long term solution. Many Linux distributions are free and require no hypervisor to get MESA installed; Windows 10 Pro is expensive.

Cheers,
Evan
