Doesn't use the native and fast hypervisor.
- LeoPanthera 10y agoThe native hypervisor doesn't support connecting USB devices to the VM, though.
- coldtea 10y agoWeb (and other) developers usually don't connect USB devices to the VM anyway, through.
- coldtea 10y agoI'm not sure why the downvotes. Do web developers using VMs for development connect USB devices to them? Does the majority even run something like vagrant linux image with a GUI and mouse?
- seabrookmx 10y agoI don't think the downvotes were warranted. That said, I will be devils advocate here. I tend to develop on multiple machines, some of them windows.. so I like having a consistent experience. Jetbrains tools on a Linux desktop (in a VM on each host) offer that. I then keep my working git repos on a USB stick and mount them into the VM. There's ways to work around that though.. such as host the USB over SMB and then mount the share inside of the VM.. or use a cloud service of some kind.. but it's a bit more clunky. USB passthrough seems like a basic feature of a hypervisor IMO.
- seabrookmx 10y agoActually? That's kind of sad.
- bonzini 10y agoThat makes no sense. The native hypervisor only takes care of emulating the CPU. Everything else, including USB emulation and redirection, is done in userspace.
