I do this because my employer has some silly policies and it was the only way they would let my run Linux on my localhost. Really I forget that I'm in the VM.. RAM is a little scarce, but all in all it works surprisingly well.
- jeremiep 11y agoSame reason here, our IT department only supports windows and I've been mostly using VBox to work in linux at work for the past 3 years without any incident whatsoever. The clipboard, mouse and keyboard sharing are really fantastic. It really makes you forget this is a guest OS.
- ake1 11y agoi've tried doing the same but the performance hit is unfortunately too big for me to find it acceptable. silly policies.
- ewzimm 11y agoYou should try it in Hyper-V. GPU-accelerated desktops are still no good, but everything else performs really well.
- ake1 11y agofrom what i understand it, hyper-v is only supported by a couple of distros and even then, the performance gains are not that noticable. definitely worth looking into none the less, thanks.
