    Had to run linux VM at previous job. Dreadful experience. Glad I can run natively now.

      I’ve been running my main desktop as a VM since 2009. I make a new VM for every client and plenty of others.

      I have no what you are talking about.

        You don’t have the same hardware, drivers and software as him. Off course you would not know what he is talking about then.

          Hardware was why I went virtual. Before that, for a decade, I ran Linux bare metal, but was spending days recompiling kernels and drivers and futzing around with non-productive activities. Every upgrade would start the cycle again.

          Once I went to VMware all those issues went away.

          Now that new owners have taken over, it appears that I’m going to have to find a new solution.

      I assume you are talking about Virtualbox. Yes, it is slow
