My problem is that its either Docker or Vmware Workstation - i kind of need both and I don't want to have to reboot everytime. But it looks interesting.

- tracker1 10y agoDepends on what you're doing with VMware Workstation, but agreed, if you're doing advanced stuff in VMware, hyperv doesn't replace it... though, for many use cases Hyper-v is decent... Also, I think it's misleading to say no VM is needed, it's just more transparent now.
- mugsie 10y agoWell, you could use HyperV for VMs instead - I have never done it, but its not that bad apparently
- krylon 10y agoFor a while, we had part of our servers running on Hyper-V (on Windows Server 2012). I could not complain, really, except that a Debian VM at the time was randomly loosing its network connection, like somebody was pulling out the virtual network cable. I could imagine this got better with Debian 8, though. (CentOS 6 had no such problem.)
- Const-me 10y agoVmWare has niche features very important for some users: USB pass-through, and accelerated 3D graphics. Servers usually need neither of them, though.
