- Virtual machines (VMs). These emulate the hardware of a whole computer, and you install a complete OS in a ¨instance" of it. They are slightly slower to start than native on the hardware, but because their storage is a file and not a partition on a hard disk, you don't need more storage space than it actually takes. For instance, A VirtualBox VM of Mint 19.3 XFCE takes < 8G. Very handy for trying different distributions, e.g. if CinGG works well on some distributions. They are much more flexible than containers. In theory, you can make an application specific VM, which then could be distributed, but when I tried that with CinGG it didn't work well (I forgot what it was, and they are too big, 8G or more). There are virtual machines that can emulate other hardware, like QEMU. VirtualBox only does x86 32 or 64 bit hardware. And special interfaces like VAAPI, OpenGL, OpenCL or CUDA might not be supported, so a program running inside a VM cannot use such features
Hi Mat. we can have graphics acceleration in virtual machines. it just takes a little more work and also the type of hardware to use. example. PCI GPU passthrough in the excellent arch wiki there is good information https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU/Guest_graphics_acceleration https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF Thanks for the AppImage -- - | Walter Casanova | - - | Gnu / Linux - SysAdmin | -
