To clarify I am not asking about a dedicated machine running something like Proxmox or Esxi. My question is about VMs running on your daily use machine on something like VirtualBox, VM ware fusion, parallels etc
Nope. No VMs. Don’t know why would I if I have a dedicated XCP-NG pool for that.
Proxmox backup server on HyperV
Saves me an extra device basically.
Occasionally WSL for AI stuff but it’s annoyingly fragile frankly.
I wanted to have Proxmox run on my gaming desktop but I always have some issues with network passthrough. I thought about doing this to run a lab, for example an AD domain to prepare myself for certification exams.
My work-from-home workstation always has a VM or two running the test/dev environment for the tasks I’m working on at work. They are VBox instances provisioned/managed by Vagrant.
They are CentOS7 instances, each running a test database, usually a text editor, “tail -F” monitoring log output, and various daemons/services specific to my workplace’s internal infrastructure. The host system is running Slackware 15.0.
WSL2 Ubuntu and today I installed Linux Mint with VMWare to play around a bit and I like it.
