this probably depends on what you consider working in Vegas. You can make edits in remote control instance. The Linux box would need to exceed the vegas requirements by 4X probably. Then the emulator would need to support all the features that windows offers natively. Apps like Vegas make direct calls to hardware drivers. Emulators abstract these calls, and tend to add a lot performance impact.

Testing is the only way to determine these things. Have at it and let the forum know the results.

Take a look at Oracle's https://www.virtualbox.org/

It runs on pretty much any x86-esque platform and supports a variety of Windows, Linux, and Mac OSes. It offers simultaneous side-by-side running along with the host system, so you can keep your Linux sessions live while Windows runs in a window.. My experience so far is that hosted applications run at nearly native speed.

There is a difference between emulation and virtualisation. It's virtualisation if it's Linux on Intel, and the overhead is minimal with Virtual Box. Another option would be to try running VP on WINE. This is also not an emulator, but a shim or application virtualization layer which turns the calls to Windows into the equivalent calls to Linux.

There's only one way to find out ....
