Enable vfio on arch linux9/15/2023 ![]() ![]() I like arch because it's super basic, you can install the system and there is absolutely no garbage.īut that comes at a price: You have to do most stuff manually and the terminal will be one of your best friends. In regards of bleeding-edgeness i the order would be arch > fedora (Meaning arch is more bleeding-edge)^^įedora has a relatively short life cycle: each version is usually supported for at least 13 months, where version X is supported only until 1 month after version X+2 is released and with approximately 6 months between most versions.įedora users can upgrade from version to version without reinstallingĪrch moves forward even faster: They provide a new iso every month ( ). I only develop on windows and use linux just for fun to tinker around with virtualization, so i can't give you super indepth help :/īut here is some input, maybe it helps you to decide: I want new version of KDE stuff more or less as soon as its available which isn't how Fedora works. ![]() The last straw for me using Fedora as my host OS had more to do with how it handles its release cycle for KDE and that it's not truly rolling release with respect to the DE. What distro your host OS should be I think mostly depends on things other than the VM experience. I think one of the things I wanted to "just work" in Fedora was using PCI passthrough with the q35 chipset, and I had the same basic issue in Fedora that I did in Gentoo. There may be more of a manual setup in Gentoo generally than Fedora, but I still had the same issues in Fedora that I did in Gentoo. I switched to Fedora last year because I got it into my head that docker and VMs would work better out of the box compared to Gentoo. I don't think the host OS distro matters for the most part as long as the one you go with has qemu/libvirt/virt-manager depending on how you want to manage your VMs.
