I was messing with my settigns and I managed to get the Intel vt-x and IOMMU turned on in my virtual machine. And I increased the cpu cores form 2 to 3 and now it's a lot smoother and the cpu usage has gone way down. thanks for the help you pointed me in the right direction.

You were right. I guess I just wasn't looking at the BIOS correctly. I saw that virtualization technology was enabled in my BIOS. I installed a new OS on my computer but I just never messed with the BIOS. Maybe it's my Distrobution of Linux.

I just looked at Vmware hardware settings and Intel VT-x and IOMMU is not available to select so maybe it's disabled in my bios. that might be the problem. thanks

Well thanks for the info. I'll try to tweak it and see if I can get it to run smoothly

Im using an HP laptop. it has a weird BIOS. It wont let me change anything accept the boot device. But I think I have virtualization on.

I tried virtual box too but that was even worse.

It's a laptop with an Intel core i7 proc with 4 logical cores, 2.6 or so ghz. 8 gigs of ram. 320gig hardrive and linux mint 20 as the host OS.

Hi this is my first Post to Linux.com. I just installed vmware player and made a vm with Manjaro20. I was dissapointed with vmware. it is laggy and jumpy and not smooth at all. am I doing something wrong? I have the open source tools installed but it's still laggy.
