Windows 10 host - Very Slow Ubuntu 18.04 64bit on VMWare
I have two new machines running VMWare player, Ubuntu 18.04 runs too slowly to use on both.
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 CPU, Gigabyte AB-350 motherboard, 16 GB ram, Samsung 970 EVO hard drive, NVidia 1060 graphics
The other machine is a Dell latitude 7480, not nearly as beefy, but both machines run Ubuntu extremely slowly/unusable.
I have routinely run Ubuntu under VMWare player to surf the internet. It does not work on this version of Ubuntu/VMWare Player on either machine.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Whit

In recent versions of VMware up to 2GB of video memory can be allocated for additional workload processing power. On the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 computer give the Ubuntu guest OS all 2GB of video memory, 2 virtual CPU cores and 8GB virtual base memory. Provide the specs of the Dell Latitude 7480 and I'll post a recommendation. Something like half the physical RAM and 2 CPU cores, maybe 1GB of video memory.

In recent versions of VMware up to 2GB of video memory can be allocated for additional workload processing power. VMware Workstation 15 and later supports virtual graphics memory up to 3GB. On the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 computer give the Ubuntu guest OS all 2GB of video memory, 2 virtual CPU cores and 8GB virtual base memory. Provide the specs of the Dell Latitude 7480 and I'll post an updated recommendation for the Dell Latitude's VMware settings. Something like half the physical RAM and 2 CPU cores, maybe 1GB of video memory.
