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.
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?

@scottalanmiller Because I hate Hyper-V I find VirtualBox or VMWare Player is easier to use on a Windows Desktop machine
You have Hyper-V? Why?
And the obvious choice is KVM, it's Windows you want in the VM, not Linux.
Using a Linux distro with a desktop environment works so much better with Virtualbox compare to Hyper-V.

Was all about desktop os.
I just prefer virtual box on windows over HYPER-V. That's just me.Current plan is to install fedora in a VM, learn Linux more and find Linux alternative to what I commonly use.

Keep in mind, Linux in a VM (or Windows in a VM) won't run as well as on bare hardware because both, but Linux far more, leans on the GPU for performance for desktop functions.

Which is one of the reasons I like Mate, lol. It runs decently pretty much regardless of how you connect to it.

Yeah... until you want a really rich desktop under normal conditions that leaves the CPU alone

Mate does everything I want it to do... and quickly, too... However, the Elementary desktop environment (Pantheon?) is growing on me.

Just found a pretty huge glitch on LinkedIn. You go to someone's profile, click on "Message" and it starts a chat with... someone completely unrelated whose only similarity is the same first name!
Tested it three times! Reloaded the page and it stopped. But wow, that's some glitch.

Attempting some NextCloud updates.
