"kvm, for one." Surely you're not saying KVM is bug free? Looks like it. That's almost certainly wrong.

"kvm, for one."
Surely you're not saying KVM is bug free? Looks like it. That's almost certainly wrong.
- ajross 15y agoI am surely not saying kvm is bug free. I am, however, saying it's much better than virtualbox.
- Confusion 15y agoCan you give a few reasons from your own experience? I found it much, much easier to get Windows XP sound and USB passthrough working in virtualbox than in kvm.
- aquayellow 15y agoNo it's not. It has its own set of problems. And bugs too! KVM has its pluses too, I agree, it's a VMM in kernel mode which apparently makes it faster, it is very non-intrusive to the rest of the kernel and hence got readily accepted upstream and so some might argue in that sense that it's better. But even though I have been hacking into KVM recently, for running a VM at home on my laptop/PC, I will always opt for VirtualBox for its simple ease of usage.
- ptman 15y agokvm is very high quality. When the SmartOS developers ported it to the OpenIndiana (or is it IllumOS? the naming is a joke) kernel, they found almost no bugs in kvm. Porting usually exposes bugs.
