I'm curious what you think others should feel when they use VMware
ESXi or Fusion, or Microsoft Hyper-V, in particular as it compares to
the feeling they should have when using VirtualBox?
On Windows and OS X, there is no qemu+kvm+libvirt. So I see VirtualBox
as the least bad option on those platforms. When I'm using Fedora I
use vmm/virsh because, well yeah VirtualBox is like the booger I can't
flick off on OS X, meanwhile on Fedora there's something better.
This is probably not a popular opinion and I'm fine with that,
but we
would have to install something that we very publicly speak out
against in order to test this. I'm not yet ready to throw out Fedora's
values for the sake of some OS X user's convenience but that's just
me.
OK well considering the UX of Linux on Macs is highly variable between
totally utterly frustrating shit, and semi-tolerable except for
exhibits A, B, C, and D all of which suck. The incentive, therefore,
is to just run proprietary OS X on proprietary hardware and VirtualBox
instead of yet more proprietary crap in order to semi-sanely run
something that's not crap or proprietary without having to buy
additional hardware and all the costs that ensue.
*shrug*
It's sorta like playing cards and telling someone they should feel bad
about the hand they've been dealt. Their choice was really limited to
showing up at a particular game in a particular location, not the
details of the hand they're dealt.
