VMware has two features that QEMU/KVM does not have. First, it has a Suspend power feature, which survives a reboot and second the ability to make a snapshot of a running VM. Otherwise I pretty much agree with you. We will see what happens with VMware WS 18

I am trying to install Office 365 and UbuntuVM under VMware. Both install, but I don't give a damn. Windows seems to have decided to wipe out Garuda Linux once again. So its gone. I will install Garuda Linux over it, wiping the entire drive. Then I will install Ubuntu 2024 Any comments...

I used Stardock products since they were only writing for OS/2 Warp (I wish IBM had not abandoned it under pressure from Microsoft). I no longer have too many things to say about Windows and Microsoft without lapsing into the vernacular. Writing now from Fedora Rawhide, where I can't use...

Looks like it is not communicating with the BIOS but I'm far f rom a Windows Canary expert.

I understand that giving up a few shareware programs I have bought (actually thousands of dollars) will be difficult, if not impossible, to run under, say, Wine; almost everything I personally need is available on Linux. I am not a gamer but have bought a gaming motherboard (A Gigabyte Ultra...

I want advice on switching from DEV to CANARY because of Virtual Machine VM consideration since Microsoft switched me, without notice, from CANARY to DEV, and only because I switched back on my new SSD, it was not in time for my VMware VM. No matter I am debaing at the mmemtn whether to...

This is the Canary channel. As far as I know there will NEVER be an RTM build

Based on the following post from Betanews and my own experience, Windows's performance is pretty slow compared to most (maybe all) of the Linux distros I have used. is pretty slow even with a new hard drive, motherboard with 65 gb RAM and Ryzen 7 processor. It also ate my Garuda install...

I did set up my PIN (entering a Windows password and then emailing code) but with no other VM )Linux or BSD), so I have to go through these conformations. Obviously, I cloned the original using virt-clone; otherwise, I'm sure I would have to go through these absurdities again. And yes the...

Downloading both VM instances (VMware and QEMU/KVM) they are at 40% installed. Both VMs were successfully installed. For VMware, I purge the previous build, make a snapshot, and suspend the VM. For QEMU/KVM I also purge the previous Windows but have to turn off the VM to make a snapshot -...

Take Command (JPsoft)

Not pertinent to this post but in an earlier post, you asked me where I got Fedora 41 and of course it was the Fedora Nightly Compose Finder https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/nightlies.html

Sure seems to be
