I am running Linux Mint 18.3 as my primary OS and utilize VirtualBox for running Windows OS¡¯. ? You will need to load which ever Windows OS you need into the virtualbox. You can have several OS¡¯s even clear back to the DOS days.? Not sure what versions the Nextion editor will run on.
I downloaded the Nextion editor and it seems to run on Windows 7 as expected but I don¡¯t have a Nextion display to test. I get no errors.

I run Windows 7 & 8.1 from a VirtualBox to run a navigational program in my RV that no equivalent version for Linux. I have installed several Windows programs as tests to see how well it works. Loaded the Arduino IDE and complied several of the sketches for the BITX40 and uBITX and loaded them to each radio. Also loaded and tested? WSJT-X and it works as well as it does under Linux. The logging programs and CAD programs work okay as well.
