Re: The more they push
I have to say that if you're going to VM, you want the base hypervisor to be something decent. VirtualBox has never really cut it for me.
VMWare is a good base option and will happily offer 3D acceleration to Linux and Windows guests, from a Linux or Windows host.
The money I spent on a copy of VMWare Workstation has paid for itself 10 times over. And I primarily work on HyperV servers at work.
Hell, if you tweak, you can even run MacOS on it. (I didn't say that).
If they force my hand, it'll be a Linux install at the base, a VMWare VM for everything else, and probably even a Linux VM for actual everyday work (because isolating the hardware is good for future compatibility and moving that VM to other machines, and because snapshots/rollback are worth their weight in gold).
