Linux C/C++ development in VM versus Linux desktop...

1 pointsby georgehaakeover 12 years ago
I find that I get occasionally annoyed at the Linux desktop environment. I consider switching to another OS..... then I feel lazy and guilty. I just wonder of others views and work environments.

Maybe its just VirtualBox or some other variable in my config but I've found the virtualization experience to be sub-par even when running a very light Arch/XFCE setup. Maybe if I was just using the terminal it would be fine, but laggy drawing really annoys me.<p>Right now I've got a small Linux partition on my laptop and I've been very happy with that.

A Linux VM has worked for me for some time now. I reached my limit dealing with the horrible desktops and switched to Windows on my laptop, which has worked well. Plus I like having totally portable development VMs.
