Is Qubes any more efficient in resource usage than a typical VM?
Is Qubes any more efficient in resource usage than a typical VM?
Privacy benefits aside, does qubes run better than a typical vm like virtualbox? I tend to fiddle with distros a lot and I feel qubes might be a good choice, though I'm wondering about how efficient it is
You're viewing a single thread.
It’s faster than virtualbox because there is lower recourse use from the base system and it uses qemu. Qemu/kvm is the fastest option for vms on Linux, but it isn’t exklusiv to qubes, you can also use it via the terminal on any distro or with a GUI like gnome boxes
It uses the Xen hypervisor, not qemu/KVM. Technically it is a Xen kernel virtualizing Linux since it is a type 1 hypervisor.
Xen uses qemu for HVM guests afaik
Is there any info about how much the base system uses?
Not that I know, but you could spin up two VMs on your current system, one with Qubes and one with base fedora and compare the performance of vm’s
yeah i was just wondering if there was a quick chart somewhere so i could be lazy
