I use qemu/KVM on Linux. I love being able to do basically all VM operations with commands. So when I need to use my Windows VM(ie: connect to a WebEx), I pop it on with an integration I wrote for my keyboard launcher(mutate), or just execute an alias over SSH, and connect via VNC. When I'm done, I just shit it down. At this point, Windows has been reduced to just a windowed program that I run.

    Also, I'm aware that WebEx works for Linux, but I'm not giving my machine chlamydia(ie: installing java).

    Also, since it really tries to take over the computer, I prefer it contained inside a windowed VNC session that I can minimize or close when I'm done with it.

    Because I also need a system that can legitimately connect to the VPN at work, in case my reverse tunnel goes down. Didn't see much need for two VMs for that purpose.

    Interesting setup!
    How much of a pain in the ass is working with KVM? I'm thinking of picking it up for a little project I have in mind, but I wanna be sure it's worth the trouble

    The first time took some hassle, as I wasn't super competent with networking back then. Times since then have been simpler. There's a great graphical frontend called virt-manager that you can use to set everything up. The really granular stuff though is in the commands.
