  After a decade of only using qemu via libvirt on the server, and lazily using VirtualBox on the desktop, this post convinced me to start using qemu locally. I run unprivileged guests for development and testing and it fits my workflow perfectly for about six months now.

  > There’s really no excuse to be using any other hypervisor [1]. They’re all dogshit compared to qemu. > [1] Especially VirtualBox. If you use VirtualBox after reading this article you make poor life choices and are an embarrassment to us all. Well I'm convinced! What a well-presented article! Appropriate Futurama quote: "Remember when I told you about always ending your stories a sentence earlier?". Drew was doing well until he ended with this unnecessary condescending and hostile conclusion (and if you think it's funny, note that "the failure mode of smartass is asshole"). It's a trend of his. He's got interesting and informed things to say, but it's hard to really take him seriously because of this.
