So, why don't people just install native Linux in VMware or something instead of keep fighting with the host OS?

- tracker1 7y agoIt's not easy for most... In the past I'd run a headless linux in a VM, do a network mount to my host environment, to edit local and run in the VM over SSH. It works, but setup is a pain.
- h1d 7y agoDo you mean as a personal pain when you're not used to setting up a Linux environment? If the IT department prepared a pre setup image, all you need to do is boot it up.
- tracker1 7y agoI mean setting up file sharing and getting the mounts working properly inside/outside the container so you can use a GUI editor on the actual desktop, while running programs in the VM... it's not something easily setup ahead of time.
