I'm personally thanking god^Wsome good folks at MS for WSL2. Which, from my understanding, is a very well integrated VM, really. But even so, the performance of that thing is just not what it should be.
- corty 6y agoWSL2 doesn't really cut it. Can't use my own window manager/desktop environment, graphics are kinda slow and sluggish, hardware passthrough is worse than in vmware, etc. It might be ok for the occasional Linux tool, but I want the other thing: the occasional windows tool, but the rest to be Linux.
- black_puppydog 6y agoHadn't really crossed my mind that the vmware vm might be more performant than the one baked into windows by MS. That's a bit embarassing, isn't it? :P Ever since I realized I was fighting a system I have no intention of mastering anymore (my brain cycles are too dear to me for that) I stopped engaging and just accepted it as the nuisance it is. But "just use vmware" seems like an easy enough fix that I might actually go down that route from now on, thanks!
