Going to use Arch on a VM, which should I use?
I want to get into Arch Linux, but I don't have that much experience and I feel like it'll be easier to set it up in a virtual machine rathen than dual booting, I've used Oracle VirtualBox before but it's very laggy. Are there any other VMs that aren't as laggy, or do I just have a hardware issue?
You're viewing a single thread.
If your computer is a Linux, QEMU/KVM with libvirtd is great. If you run a Windows 10 or higher, HyperV works great, you should also be able to grab a VMware Player if it's still free. For Mac you have Parallels I believe.
Gnome Boxes is also great for simple stuff on Linux. Besides there is virt-manager as GUI for libvirt. On macOS UTM is a good free and open source tool.
Sorry I meant virt-manager yeah, I think it is part of libvirtd
HyperV doesn't let you adjust the screen size does it? I tried to use it for work but that held me back
I believe you need to install the drivers for it. Something similar to vmwaretools but for hyperv.
Oh okay, I couldn't even find any screen settings, so I assumed it was just not possible. Thanks, I'll look into it :)
I'll try it
