VMWare is still your best bet if you use the Desktop on any VM, need clipboard copy and can workaround all the file sharing issues. I had hoped I could just use Hyper-V or WSL2 and get by instead of silly annual upgrades. I used to boot windows and just go into my VMWare Ubuntu Desktop for work. I have never really liked it too much because, but its free and works better than Hyper-V so. Still pretty usable if you need something free. Don't run anything like production on it. Vbox backed, was typical installation on Windows and is still an option. It's not too bad but I have had file corruption which never happened on Docker with vbox. It is slow and Docker will warn you about shared drives. Ubuntu 2020 works fine and performance is decent.
#HYPER V VS VIRTUALBOX CODE#
VS Code seems to be able to launch this shell. So it's pretty much like using Linux shell on windows which has a lot of advantages when doing development. Its fast, has automatic mount for my drives. Good enough for development work and running bash/zsh so I don't have to remember the difference between ls and dir I can still just launch it from start bar. Have not tried it but at least you have an option now as opposed to Windows Evaluation copy. Sure you could go read a 100-internet-page on performance, but why. I have used Ubuntu since 2005 and have no issues with it but it just isnt doing well on AMD Threadripper, quite possible its the kernel level issues.
It is not stellar but definitely better than Ubuntu. I am really glad to see WSL2 do so much better so now I can actually stop using MacOS or Ubuntu for most of my work and stick to Win10 which has better support for my CPU/Motherboard. Docker (not really VM but I am using Docker WSL2 as opposed to Virtualbox).We have few options when it comes to doing Development or Testing work. I spent a great deal of time and money on various VM platforms so hopefully i can save you the same time/money.
#HYPER V VS VIRTUALBOX PRO#
You only need Pro if you want to get Hyper-V and WSL2 support without hacking around with Windows preview builds.
#HYPER V VS VIRTUALBOX WINDOWS 10#
I recently upgraded my Workstation to a Windows 10 Pro workstation edition. This is from my perspective of using Linux based distros as the main driver.
