I use virtualbox because of the seamless mode and shared clipboards

Setting up KVM/QUMU is tedious

>>56955148
you mean thread ordering ? i lose hpet in bios and then basically run my terminal as a console

>>56955148

xen.

I use Qemu-KVM.

It's not at all tedious, you just write a script to start qemu stating the cores, memory, devices, iso, ect for the VM and run it.

I use VirtualBox because it just werks

You know there's libvirt and VirtManager for that, right?

>>56955148
Virtualbox if you want to virtualize desktops, especially if you want drag and drop between the VM and your desktop.

KVM qemu for most everything else. LXC/docker/OpenVZ are pretty fantastic for containers, but I don't use those as much right now.

Or just choose one of the predefined machine types instead of choosing each option individually.

>>56955304
>write a script

No, you use a GUI like Virt-Manager to control qemu.

I use kvm with virt-manager when I can. Easy, simple and works perfect.
Virtualbox works better with some guests (e.g kali) though. Must be because I suck at setting kvm.

Obviously bhyve.

Boxes and Proxmox.

VMware or kvm for me. Virtualbox disk io speed is terrible.

i dont run vms on my linux machines. my linux machines are vms.

Haven't seen drag and drop between the vm and the desktop. That would be more handy than the shared folders.

The fun is in doing it the other way around. That way you use the strength of linux as a server. Like a server with some applications and file management.
