- octix 12y agoCan you elaborate please? Linux running inside a VM?
- aselzer 12y agoFreeBSD running in a VM on Linux on a Macbook. I argued that you can install Linux on the MacBook, which gives you the advantage of good hardware support and a non-Apple and open-source OS, on which you can in turn run FreeBSD using a VM. And since MacBooks support Intel's VT-x which Linux KVM uses, virtualization actually works very well with this setup. Obviously, when possible, buying a laptop with good FreeBSD driver support is the superior choice.
- xxxyy 12y agoVirtualization = huge power consumption and low performance. Not good for laptops, although quite reasonable for desktops.
