I&#x27;ve been using this and really like it!<p>The experience is very dependant on the hardware, so it&#x27;s much more usable with 8G ram, quad core and ssd than otherwise, but it can work on more basic specs too.<p>It&#x27;s really nice being able to pass a VM&#x27;s traffic through a VPN VM, or to completely sandbox it from the network. Also having a convenient interface for opening a PDF or web browser in a disposable VM is pretty neat.<p>Some things become more fiddly like attaching devices or moving files between VMs, but it depends on the use-case how much that matters.
