mRemoteNG
Cause windows is better at managing Linux at a scale. you have many softwares for that
WinSCP
mRemoteNG
Linux is just server, and it uses SSH as single port of administrator, so my point is with Windows you get the best of everything. and once your inside Linux server your in, it doesnt matter from where you SShed from.
My point is the best linux admin tool is windows

I know this will get alot of hate, but it just takes alot of effort and patience to make linux work with peripherals and once you do keeping your system up to date is difficult it might botch your manual configs..
Actually I find the opposite. We have continuous issues with Windows (but less than in the past for sure) and essentially zero with Linux. In fact, when printing to our Brother printers here in the office, anyone with Windows has to get someone with Ubuntu to print for them! On Ubuntu it works with zero config, on Windows, it always breaks.
Good luck finding printer driver and PPD file and all the manual config to get quality prints, sure Linux may print, but my exp was bad margins. man its so left out google dont provide downloads for it gdrive client. everything is hack or workaround . why do we do this again ?
@mroth911 said in HyperVisor:
Ok, I will take a look. What is the software or flavor of linux of choice. Centos, Ubuntu ?
for me it is centos, cause of the logic :
If you want only one role to function in a server and it will not change, and you want it to do it good, and it does not require new features go with old stable or centos... everyone here will tell you fedora so you can be beta tester

f your smart you can get Win 10 Home license for 15$ valid but you just need to research
Obviously you've done no research and have no idea what you are even defending. Win10 home has no Hyper-V so you are stuck using a type 1 or WSL, which isn't a VM.
you mean type 2, right? its okay i can correct you all day...

The solution is to do your due diligence.
Verify the hardware is supported by the software you want to run. You do this with everything, OSs included.
If you want to run Linux, buy supported hardware. Verify from the hardware manufacturer they support the OS you want to run; verify they provide drivers for your preferred OS.
My 7 year old could be taught to do this.
But a System76 and tell me Linux doesn't run on it. Buy some peripherals that Ubuntu documents as supported and tell me it doesn't work.
There's only one person to blame in all your troubles.
System76 cheapest option 1000$ my hardware is like 300-400$
why the fuck should i go buy 1000$, go blow your money for bragging rights, if your smart you can get Win 10 Home license for 15$ valid but you just need to research, and it will do more than your fancy 1000$ toy, and if i want to use linux i will rent one for 3$ per month, or make VM and keep the 700$ in my pocket... , i really hope you dont teach that 7yr old how to manage finances.

It sounds like you're missing some Windows drivers experiences. We need to collect and send you all of our 'favourite' peripherals to install.
What about GPU performance? and drivers for that
You get better performance in windows, will using OS we love that handicaps performance cause of strict licensing and blobs that as end user i dont really care as long as i get free download of the driver and it installs.
Linux as worksation means you can do anything in browser, which is good if you reach that point, but thats what desktop linux is a browser OS + snap/electron which is basically a browser app, and if you need linux you can run it in VM in windows the way it is meant to be run just console session.
Thats my point, you will get more in Windows ENV
I love Linux It causes me to earn and work, I made my own Debian Distro back in the day, but we are being cult about it, and limiting ourselves cause we love it so much
You guys dont get it, we love Linux to much we are blind...
There is nothing Windows can do that Linux cant, however the opposite is not true.
In workstation sense, why do everything in your workstation and have all the options

if you want to connect to linux SSH using mRemoteNG or Cmder
Windows 10 comes with a native SSH client and server. SSH client is enable by default.
Can it deal with SSH keys also ? that is why i use CMDer
