On: Developing inside a virtual machine

[mmwelt]

This all looks fine for developing server apps that don't need a GUI, particularly as long as 3D accelerated graphics aren't needed. You don't even need to be using/developing a 3D game or application, just using a modern GUI without too much lag now seems to require 3D acceleration.

3D acceleration is pretty well supported in VMware and sorta works well in UTM

Complete pain in the butt for anything else like qemu

It's pretty manageable with libvirt + virt-manager sitting on top of QEMU, though.

UTM's backend is qemu, isn't it? so one could check what they're doing
