What's your choice?

VirtualBox. That's what I've always used; I've mostly just used it to test out different distros of GNU+Linux and BSD.

What are the pros and cons of each, BTW?

VMware is harder to use so it's better

vmware workstation pro using one of those free keys.

My dick is hard to use. Does it make my dick better?

that does not even make sense.

VMware for sure. I use both ESXi and Workstation daily not because I'm forced to but because it's works the best. Honest truth.

One extra vote for KVM+Libvirt+Qemu. VMWare is expensive shit made for illiterate monkeys and VirtualBox is a toy.

Qemu is also much faster than both

>VMware is harder
What exactly is hard? Are you a brainlet?

Hmm. Let's see who's the brainlet.
Did I say it's hard? Or did I say that it's harder than VirtualBox?
Now, quickly boy, kill thyself.

But Hyper-V has not 3d acceleration. It's so choppy.

I knew you would be childish enough to bring that up, go figure.

Bring up what? Your reading comprehension?
I'm not even English, so let that sink in.

You seem upset.

And?

Isn't that what RemoteFX is for? At any rate, I've only ever used Citrix for virtual desktop deployments that require graphics work.

I used to love VMware but then it started turning into poop.
>Superior desktop integration, but as of 12 it only works for Windows guests on Windows hosts, and 11 is kinda buggy on current Win10.
>You can shrink disks to reclaim space from deleted files, but you have to zero fill empty space, shut down, and shrink offline. Vbox shrinks live in response to TRIM if you configure it right.

I use them both. Some things just seem to work better on one or the other.

What if I want to use accelerated graphics or USB devices on the host system?

QEMU

>qemu
>no gui, CLI only
I'm guessing this is the officially Jow Forums-approved VM software, right?

Virt-manager is a fine gui

What do you need 3d acceleration for?

Get a real hypervisor like ESXi or KVM.

QEMU with kvm. If you really want a virtual machine in production you should fine tune qemu from the command line.

sudo apt install libvirt qemu-vm virt-manager

qemu doesn't need a gui that badly
but it's kind of retarded that they don't ship with one considering how simple it'd be to make
the program was practically designed to make it easy to provide a front-end for

The newer versions of virt-manager support qemu.

QEMU

Hmm, if it was simple, I'd imagine that some Jow Forumsentooman/men that knows Java or some such language would've made one by now, or even the qemu devs themselves. Eh, maybe I'm wrong and everyone that could is just the autistic "CLI or die!" types. Who knows.

vmx(1) on 9front desu. man.cat-v.org/9front/1/vmx

It also crashes faster than both.

Found VMware more stable to use than VB, especially with virtual servers. Plus Terry Davis uses VMware so take that for what it's worth.

It works better if you use it correctly.

tough

docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/learn-more/use-local-resources-on-hyper-v-virtual-machine-with-vmconnect

Niether. Niether of them can do firewire which is what i fucking need for older AV equipment

>"you're holding it wrong!"
You sound like a macfag.

I said I want to use local resources on the local host system like I do when HyperV is not installed and I'm not using any VM.

Hyper-V.

I've had much better performance with VMware

qemu has several gui frontends too brainlets

Neither. I’m making my own.
