Choosing KVM over Hyper-V....

@brandon220 how goes the KVM investigation?
-
Great so far. Have not been able to spend as much time with it as I would have liked. I did not care for running virt-manager on Win10 under Ubuntu. I need to get a dedicated linux laptop. I could run Fedora as a VM but dedicated would be preferred.

That's just better in general
But virt-manager on Windows is still better than Hyper-V's tools.

Yeah i'm liking it now i have it running.
Got it working on my home lab from work just need to work out how to "secure" it better for remote access. But that can be another thread

Seems to work fine for me. I have an XP VM and a Server 2016 VM. Both run well on the same box.

I have a windows 10 VM on my laptop and desktop for the rare times I need windows.

KVM is specifically good for that.
