- fit2rule 11y agoThis is a real VM. The likelihood that if it runs on here, it'll run on a 'real Ubuntu instance' is quite high.
- 0x4a42 11y agoBut why one would pay for a VM as a SAS when you can install one for free in a just a few minutes on your own machine?
- fit2rule 11y agoMaybe your machine isn't good enough for the VM? Lots of folks have low-budget, slow laptops that could still nevertheless benefit from having access to a decent Linux workstation environment.
- crististm 11y agoSo you suggest this is a good use-case because you can run Linux in a recent Firefox on an old machine better than you can run it natively?! Have you run a recent Firefox on an old machine for that matter?
