Are there any Virtual Machine apps that are faster then VMWare & VirtualBox?
I've been trying to run WinXP using VMWare and it tends to run Slow. Even when I set 4-8 GB Ram & 6-12 Process. Cores. It just keeps running Slow.Are there any Virtual Machine apps that are faster then VMWare & VirtualBox?
KVM/QEMU is slightly
faster because of less overhead.
Docker containers are faster but they are a different sort of virtualisation. They use the linux kernel that is running your machine to run the containers, so the user doesn't have to boot a kernel as happens within vbox, vmware and kvm. And many containers can run simultaneously, each running an OS. You can check out the docker home: https://docs.docker.com/. It's free and open source.Are there any Virtual Machine apps that are faster then VMWare & VirtualBox?
Thanks for the welcome.Welcome to the forums
I am not a user of Virtual machines but , we do have several members who do and will no doubt chip in when they are on line, Just one question, which OS are you thinking of using as a host?
I guessed Parrot was involved somewhere down the line [I have it on one of my spare drives]I'm a bit confused as to whether or not that question is directed to me but the host System is Parrot Home Edition. And works flawlessly.
Did you remember to actually enable virtualization in the bios/uefi, AMD(AMD-V) or Intel(VT-d, Intel VT-x)?I've been trying to run WinXP using VMWare and it tends to run Slow. Even when I set 4-8 GB Ram & 6-12 Process. Cores. It just keeps running Slow.
The Problem I have with VirtualBox is getting the OS Screen to go Full Screen instead of having a black border around the OS Screen.
Loving the distro from day 1 when it was released. Back then it was still a Formula 1 car with no breaks or steering, just speed and crashes. It came a long way and I use it as my daily driver for pretty much everything.I guessed Parrot was involved somewhere down the line [I have it on one of my spare drives]
