   Virtualbox gets worse and worse with each release.

   thanks for your time.

      @thurloat Go with KVM. It's fantastic.

         @michelamarie @Theophilus I use KVM in my virt stack (1000s of VMs running, coast to coast), I'm just forced to use it on a windows PC for some stuff and it constantly breaks.

            @thurloat @Theophilus Nice. My company uses it the same way. Why do you have to run Windows? Does your employer force you yo have it on your desktop?

               @michelamarie just because of some dependencies that won't run well under linux.

               I don't actually do any development or ops on the windows machine, just functions as a window manager to open a music player, some management utils, vnc sessions, and virtualbox.

               side benefit, gaming on it.

                  @thurloat Ah, yeah. That's a pain. Fortunately, nothing I need only runs on Windows. Hopefully, all the kit you need will be available without that sort of requirement soon. 😕
