Running virtual machines on Linux
Sometimes I have to run Windows virtual machines (VMs) on my machine to test new code. I used VirtualBox for a while, but then wanted to switch to something else as I didn't want to be using something owned by Oracle.
Microsoft makes time-limited Windows VMs available for free. I switched to VMWare, but I stopped counting how many times it crashed my whole system. I really wanted to like it, but it's probably the buggiest software I've ever tried to use. Well, apart from anything made by Microsoft. 😜
So, I'm back on Virtualbox. The interface is much simpler and it's been running without issues so far, so that's what I'll use for now. If you know of a better option, please let me know in the comments.
Update: Just use GNOME Boxes!
