I use vmware and qemu
Replied to others with this but realized you won’t get those notifications. I finally got around to releasing this, which is Debian in your browser via Docker: https://nowsci.com/webbian
I use LXD (or Incus) containers
I’ve been curious about those for a while, what are they about, are they somehow better than the usual Docker/Podman conatiners?
They run a full distro rather than the minimalist that Docker containers use. You can also use them to run gui apps but that needs a bit more work to configure. I run Google Chrome sandboxed this way.
I use virt-manager, aka Virtual Machine Manager. Using this specifically because of the winapps for Linux repo has instructions on how to get Windows apps to run through the VM to be integrated in a Linux environment.
How “scriptable” is virt-manager?
My biggest issue with VirtualBox is that I have to install OSes as if I’m actually installing them. There aren’t any images (at least that I’m aware of) that can run with a command, like deploying an EC2.

None, I use Docker for Linux, and Proton (Heroic) for Windows.
But if I had to pick a virtual machine: libvirt with virt-manager as a frontend, which uses KVM for virtualization.
From my other comment:
Then I created a Docker image with Linux, Gnome, and novnc so I can spin one up instantly with little resource overhead and control it from any web browser.
Maybe I should release my Dockerfile.
i’m listening.
I might actually be interested. It’s like a lightweight alternative to Proxmox?
Sort of, Proxmox does use noVNC I think, but it’s a lot of overhead. This is just a
dockercommand. I’ve finally put a page up for it: https://nowsci.com/webbian/I didn’t understand that you ran it without hardware virtualization. This is really convenient, thanks a lot for making it!
I’m just now learning about Docker and Containerfiles, so I wouldn’t be opposed to a real world example…
And the example finally exists: https://nowsci.com/webbian/
Neat! Gonna look over that!
