The above open in desktops (Misson Windows). I do not do heavy data analysis. I never run low on memory with 16GB.
Performance is not a problem. I do open 1 VM form time to time and again no problem.
- alasdair_ 10y agoThe VMs are a killer. I fairly often wish to debug our mobile app. This ends up involving spinning up both the client and server (which is a collection of VMs) plus both IntelliJ and Unity. 16GB isn't really enough to do this without being very careful about memory.
- fpoling 10y agoIf VMs are Linux, try to activate zram there, it allows to reduce VM's memory significantly. With typical compression factor of above 2 this allows to shrink VMs by at least 30% with tolerable loss of performance.
