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!
You are likely right, I was searching for articles about VirtualBox speed.
I use VirtualBox on a desktop, (the specifications below my username in forum posts), I don't have a laptop, I use the computer only at home (but for a lot of time most days)
Good to read you have changed to another Open Source program
