I worked on such a setup in previous job and current. Personally I'm on new desktop computer / Windows 10 / VirtualBox / Ubuntu. Good things: - Games and GPU drivers! General annoyances: - you can't bring another VirtualBox VM inside your VM so I use QEMU (but without KVM, because it does not work in VB) - this is big for me as I, as mentioned below, work on my own Linux distribution - using tiling WM on VM and juggling between VM and host is not enjoyable - Primary Selection on Windows does not work, so many I select something and can't paste it with middle click if it involves Windows app - serving something for whole LAN involves playing around with network configuration Windows annoyances: - updates are still not smooth enough - I'm spoiled by ChromeOS though - it's not easy or obvious how to pause the download of updates - I wrote a firewall rule for it once when my Internet pipe got very narrow because of my ISP - some time ago Windows started to bug me to sing up to OneDrive or something - applications thinking they are so important that have to start with the system - I know about mscfg or whatever, but it should Just Work - sticky keys and other unhelpful shortcuts to hell are on by default - VirtualBox by default will resume computer from sleep, even if you will stop VM - putting computer to sleep disables audio through HDMI - then I have to restart - can't figure out where can I _safely_ get driver to old SPAC based webcam - can't figure out which package manager I can use that would update everything automatically (or at least semi-) - Chocolatey is not doing it by default and maybe it can't VirtualBox annoyances: - window resizing causes VM to resize correctly and then it shows scrollbars that obscure window contents - VirtualBox bugs me with updates I now think about dual-boot setup, but that's never a joy. As comments here suggest I need to try VMware. I also can't wait when one will be able to just develop on Android as in Robert Landley's vision. Meanwhile I do some personal R&D to create a Linux Distribution with as smooth updates as on ChromeOS.
