        You have Hyper-V? Why?

        And the obvious choice is KVM, it's Windows you want in the VM, not Linux.

          He's talking about a desktop setup. In his other thread he spoke of dual booting - to which I asked - why have the hassles of dual booting - instead use a VM.

          Then as he mentioned above - he's thinking currently he'll have a Windows desktop with a Linux VM because he's more comfortable in Windows - then as he becomes more comfortable in Linux, he'd switch them around. So he might ultimately end up with KVM and a Windows VM, that wasn't his current desire.

            I know, and Hyper-V and KVM both do that extremely well.

              Right, but that's a lot of extra work. Hence my point.

                I don't disagree that he should look at using Hyper-V on Windows 10 instead of VirtualBox, but really - meh...

                  I find I like VirtualBox more... VMs feel more responsive to me. (They're probably not, lol).

                    Because they write to memory, not to disk. So if anything goes wrong, they just crash. It's faster because it's dangerous.

                      Mayhap so, but I've never had any problems with it, so it remains my go-to. Windows 10 Home doesn't even offer Hyper-V as a feature, does it?

                          Using a Linux distro with a desktop environment works so much better with Virtualbox compare to Hyper-V.
