I can use this now to bypass the issues with Linux Bible 9th Edition tutorial commands and Fedora 27, so I can at least move on from where I was stuck .
I always used Virtual Machines while plugged in if I'm on a laptop. Running VM is quite CPU intensive and will drain a battery in no time. With CPU clock speed throttling in new CPUs it's was evident he was going to have trouble from the start. It's like if you try gaming/rendering 3D on battery, not recommended. I don't get why he wrote a whole article about it. I could be wrong be it almost seems like a "click-bait" article.Since it was brought up in this thread, I gave VirtualBox another whirl and was pleasently surprised. I usually use VMWare Player. I did some benchmarks/speed testing a few years back and VirtualBox was quite slower. Glad to see I'm switching to another Open-Sourced program in my tool box. Cheers!
I read an article yesterday about VirtualBox speeds on Ubuntu, he writes about the Power Management settings/profile on the Host computer, and that altering this is what speeds up VB guests, what do you think of his idea, has anyone tried it ? -http://www.rawinfopages.com/tips/2015/05/speed-up-virtualbox-enormously-with-this-simple-tweak/Unsure if it would help with desktop computers, he seems to use laptop, as he writes also of battery.
Nice!
we have already gone over this topic
Tonight I edited the login page a bit, its theme, its images, and its stylesheet.
I assigned 4GB (4096MB) of RAM to the machine, 2 processors(cores), and I do have ticked Enable 3D acceleration.
a platform that one can use to build a complete distribution from source code
On the video I notice, after the display manager, is the blue screen, is it a splash screen, and if so will removing it make it go from the display manager to desktop faster as it doesn't have to load this ?Or it loads in the background and the splash doesn't slow this ?
Keep in mind that it's a VM so some things might not work the way they do in a real machine. I really never install many apps in my VMs, at least not the ones I used in my real pc. I mostly play with customizations and stuff like that. For instance, I installed 3 different desktops in Arch; XFCE, LXDE and LXQT and been checking resource usage and customizations posibilities. While doing that I learnt that resource usage is almost the same for the 3 of them, but when it comes to customization posibilities XFCE beats them all, so yeah, if I loved it before now I do even more
Really nice work @bitsnpcs keep it up!
