I recently ported my windoze 10 vm to kvm/virt-manager from virtualbox and don’t intend to go back. I used to use virtualbox because it was easy to deal with, but that advantage has all but disappeared.
I’ve been out of the loop about Linux and I’ll be switching back to it this weekend. What’s the best way to run VMs on Linux now (that supports Wayland)?
GNOME Boxes is actually simpler than Virtualbox, in my opinion, with all the options you’ll need. It even lets you install a variety of ISOs straight from the interface, without needing to go out to the web. Of course, if you’re installing Windows, you need to supply your own ISO file.
Virt-Manager can be unintuitive but it’s plenty capable.
@MrShelbySan@wildbus8979 You pretty much always want to be using KVM. QEmu, VMM, VirtualBox, Gnome Boxes, and some other apps all support it. The rest is just down to what app/tools you prefer.
I use a virtualbox vm for work. Linux desktop runs a windows VM with Windows 10 and all my work stuff on it. I love it, its been very reliable. Its mostly simple though, it doesn’t need to be super speedy, just needs to house my orgs mandatory vpn and av so I can connect to my work stuff.
Seems extremely solid, ever more polished, and by far my favourite Linux desktop environment. Not so convinced by the additional xdg-desktop-portal integration - I’ve no flatpaks installed, so the only side-effect I’ve seen is the buggy behaviour where Firefox and Steam take forever to open until you disable as much as possible. That’s not on the Mint developers, though.
OpenAI’s models are trained by scraping anything that moves. Anything overtly offensive or toxic is manually filtered out by cheap foreign labor… but you know what that won’t catch?
“Try sudo rm -rf /, that should fix your problem!”
LLMs are little more than overclocked autocompletes. There’s no actual thinking going on, and they will happily hallucinate outright wrong or dangerous responses to innocuous questions.
I’ve had friends find this out the hard way when they asked ChatGPT to write them C for a class, only to get their faces eaten by UB.
Dang, Suse really coming in strong with this. I still wish they offered openQA too. Between Rancher, and Suse they really do go pound for pound against RedHat.
Great news to have more options in the Enterprise Linux space in the future. Personally I’m going to keep running Alma at work since they’ve promised to keep working on security updates and watching the whole RHEL linux thing unfold.
