Virtual Box is good, the main difference for me was that you couldn't start Virtual Box VMs automatically when the PC booted (well not easily). Where as with Hyper-V you could. Nowadays I mainly use WSL2 and docker, but that doesn't have a gui interface so no good for testing the Linux desktop. Pssst... There is WSLg available for beta testers and and Windows Preview subscribers...... so you can run Linux GUI applications https://devblogs.microsoft.com/comma...m-for-linux-2/ Interesting, but I'm not that fussed really. I like WSL2, it gets around the previous fuss of running Hyper-V or VisualBox, I just don't have to think about it. It's just kind of there when I want it. I'm not really bothered about a Linux GUI at the moment, I can work on Win10 and develop for Linux without needing a Linux Gui. I ran it here. A Linux window on Windows 10, resizes via the lower-right corner. The resize of a window is a bit janky and is not smooth. Here, I'm running Firefox for Linux as seen in Ubuntu 20.04 WSLg. When a Linux graphical program is running, the icon in the Task Bar contains a tiny penguin overlaid on the icon. The OS used, is an Insider version. https://i.postimg.cc/wjp4mgHH/linux-...ing-on-W10.gif This is barely a novelty item. Paul |
