The irony of this being is that it sucks bad enough still that I'm using Virtualbox + vagrant on my windows desktop.
Windows is a window manager for Chrome, vagrant/vbox, putty. I even use OWA for outlook on windows.
- blinkingled 9y agoWhy not Hyper-V instead of VBOX? Much better in every aspect other than maybe desktop. I wish Linux gained enhanced session support.
- abiox 9y agoin my experience hyper-v doesn't handle graphical stuff very well, so a desktop linux experience much worse than vmware workstation or virtualbox.
- nlawalker 9y agoYeah I miss this as well. I have a Hyper-V Linux VM into which I have mounted a share from the Windows host, and it works great for everything I can do from SSH, but the graphical desktop performance is awful.
- cjsuk 9y agoI've run Hyper-V in production with SCVMM. No thanks. More seriously, it's not portable and not something I want to invest in any further brain-wise. Plus you can't drive half of it with vagrant. I burned about 4 days recently learning that.
