Or am I missing something obvious?

I can relate. Last time that happened, I gave up or trying to find out how that works and just used another computer that was already connected to the TV.

I have two pieces of software I cannot live without, to the point that I would rewrite them for Linux if it came to that. Running Windows as a VM using Virtual Box has been a nice experience so far. (Given that both software are not CPU nor GPU heavy and could run on a tree if need be.)
