I'm trying out Linux, first installed Debian, then moved to Ubuntu.
Figured that I'd rather use a vm as my dev machine than mess with my main computer.
Quite nice. Though VirtualBox sometimes messes up.
Anyone have any suggestions for me?

If you are on Mac, Parallels is what I use to run Windows and Linus VM's. Very useful. I have also enjoyed using Fedora on a very old laptops.

When I learned linux I found out that with vm's the temptation to not use the linux is too big. Dual boot is the best option for learning.

How I understand it, he has Linux as main OS but uses VMs for dev. Which is a good thing, I think.

You can use Vagrant, syncing your local project files with your VM. This way, you work on your local machine but install your dev stuff on your VM.

Or even better: docker 👌

@willol sorry, I forgot to clarify. I have a windows 10 machine as my main machine. Im planning on using a vm so I can avoid unnecessary tools and IDE related issues on my main machine. Also I plan to buy a laptop soon. And would rather just copy the vm

@esaysimyan docker is still a great solution especially if your ide supports it for debugging and etc

@maltedMilk less demanding how?
