That is exactly what I do, I run Linux and when I need some irritating app that

is Windows only I run Windows in a VM, I use VMWare for it but VB will work

just fine too. In a VM it is a lot easier to go in and pick through the poop and

figure out why Windows died.

I do not have a Mac but I know a few who do who also run Chirp, it runs great

on those machines as far as I can see.

One other advantage as I can see is Linux does not appear to pay attention to

the USB chip issue, I have tried all kinds of them legit and knock off, and have

had no issues with them. I use Ubuntu Mate 16.04.

My only issue is I wish that someone would work on getting Chirp to talk to the

Icom ID-5100. I will even loan my radio if someone would take a look at it.

My hats off to you guys great piece of software and I am sure it will get even

better over the next year. Kind of like good wine, the longer it ages the better

it gets.

Using Chirp on Mac and Linux. Works fine.

When you get desperate and have to run Microsoft, now or later, try Virtual Box. It’s free.

Been using it for years, just running XP, for a couple projects.

Very stable, and when MS poops, the computer is still running, with no issues. No reboots, just restart MS.

Got to be easy, my wife can run it.
