Is it feasible to do all of my development on a VM?

Is it feasible to do all of my development on a VM?
I use C# for work, Python for school, and Java/Scala for personal projects.
I'm tired of my computer being bloated with so many IDEs, SDKs, compilers, and whatever else Visual Studio installs.
My thought is to create a VM image for each language that I can boot into when I need it.

Are there any drawbacks?

you fool etc etc never start a land war in asia etc etc

>I'm tired of my computer being bloated with so many IDEs
So you're going to create 3 different VM images, so you'll have 3x OS installs plus the IDEs.

It only seems sane tbqh famalam

I really think anime is the reason why so many young boys and men these days want to be women. they have become so infatuated with these inanimate objects, these cartoons, to the point where they want to become the cartoon drawings they masturbate to.

why not have all of them in one?

I'm not even a weeb, but I just wanna fugg a qt tranny

>want to be women
What does that have to do with OP pic?

Yes and?

Its possible but not worth it. VS and any Java IDE on raw hardware will always be faster than in VM. Plus, any VM is a RAM hog. If you're a dev, you have very little patience for slow IDEs.

Astolfo's a boy tho

I know Pycharm is the best Python IDE and also a RAM benchmark. So running a VM on top of that will eat RAM but if you have 8+ GBs that's probably not a concern.

My desktop has 16GB, so I can dedicate 8GB or more to it easily.

I may consider this. Just create a VM loaded with all of my dev tools.

Similar situation.
I use visual studio but want to switch to linux. Can i just use linux as my main OS but use a VM for C# projects?

It's more than feasible, people do that all the time. Creating one for every langauge is pretty dumb. Just create on for work, one for school, and one for personal.

A better solution would be using docker in your projects, or taking the nixpills. I'd also suggest having a dedicated work machine, it helps a ton with focus.

16GB is barely enough to run a good-size VS or IJ project without VM.
8GB is just a no-go.

IntelliJ IDEs will eat up RAM. Pycharm uses about 2GB after a dozen or so interactive debug runs.

Why do you need more than vi to program? Why do you need an IDE?

Perhaps you could understand with this experience that programming in anything other than bash, perl and python and using an IDE is POINTLESS AND STUPID.

Doing shit in C#, or C++, even fucking java is plainly wasting time. Unless you are doing it for work, in which case they give you a computer and work time to actually develop and use that time to get paid.

>Why do you need more than vi to program?
Because I'm a professional and there's a huge difference between your 100 line Python "project" and the 120,000 SLOC enterprise systems that I support.

I often reach the swap at work and I have 16gb of RAM. 16gb is really not enough nowadays. The JVM is trash

>The JVM is trash
Stop blaming the JVM for your shit code.

You can't do 3D or anything GPU-related in a VM
Otherwise it make no difference

>Is it feasible to do all of my development on a VM?

Yes, I do it.

The JVM provoke memory leaks when you start a server over and over again in Eclipse but yeah ok. Maybe try to work on a project bigger than 100 lines of code somedays tia

Yeah that's the case for me along with how spoilt girls are in online social circles

>The JVM provoke memory leaks when you start a server over and over again in Eclipse
Stop using Eclipse, it had it's day but now it's old news.
Why would you blame the JVM for something that Eclipse is doing?

Yeah, I did everything for uni in a Linux VM. Works fine. Compartmentalization between work/play is nice.

And I work at a much bigger company than you and vim + terminal is the only IDE we need

As far as I know, VS Code can handle nearly all of the languages you have mentioned.
I use VS Code for C, C++, C# (Unity scripts), Python, Java and Web dev too. It is the only editor I have installed.

It's porn.
