Virtualization As Fast As Possible

Running one operating system on top of another with virtual machines is useful for gamers, home users, and IT pros alike. How does it work, and how can it help you?

Touch ID and fingerprint scanning technology as fast as possible.

0:37 if virtualization is like cake, and the cake is a lie, then virtualization is a lie and therefore doesn't exist.

Thank you so much! I am a student from Greece studying at the International Hellenic University, Business Organization and Management and on the lesson of MIS it has a chapter which it talks about Pc Virtualization & since I don't have the best knowledge about PCs I couldn't make sense out of it, how it is done and why it is beneficial. I am so glad that I stumbled across your video while doing a quick search about it. I have a much better understanding of it since you explained it in such an easy way to comprehend. Keep up the amazing work!

Glad I watched this. Although I had a basic idea of VM, this really clarified it. Thanks.

I cant handle the amount of video's you are dropping right now! so much tech and so Quick (y)

Linus, your charismatic personality is joyful as ever. Even 6 years later. But I would say, it has improved over overtime.

Ogres are like operating systems, we have layers.

What a coincidence, I've been researching the Xen Project and pci passthrough. I plan to split my current machine down the middle to run Linux Mint Debian Edition and Windows 10 at the same time. I currently dual-boot them, I saw this as the next step. I also plan to start comparing gaming ports and running in wine vs the real thing at the same time. I'm hoping to have the switch completed by the weekend (kid takes up too much time and I'm changing my cooling solution).

I just wanted to thank you for this vid because you showed me another potential use that I hadn't considered. LAN/multiplayer using the same box but multiple screens. That's something that can seriously let me have more fun in gaming when my nephews visit in the future.

VT-x helped with instructions, while VT-d helps with accessing hardware I/O. There's also VT-i. Those terms should never be mixed, as they are different capabilities of a CPU.
Most modern CPU have VT-x.

Oh, BTW, it should be mentioned in the video that these capabilities must be turned on in the BIOS/UEFI if they are going to be used. Most of the time they are off by default.

I know this video is a little older but I just wanted to say thanks for making these. I'm studying to take the CompTIA A+ exam and this part confused me a little. I understand it a little more now. :)

geniously easy explained. a rare video about this topic including fun facts. damn good work mate and greetings from Berlin!)

[LordDragon]

We can run a "virtual machine" in a "virtual machine" like an a inception? Just to see benchmarks results.

[SmpLMat]

Awesome video Linus. Do you think you can make any Linux server videos in the future?

[xramejin]

I once ran a commodore 64 emulator inside DOSBox, on my windows pc, it worked suprisingly well, although there was no sound because that weird german emulator from the 90s needed some obscure sound drivers that I couldn't find anywhere. Bubble Bobble ran all right, no glitches or anything.

You ought to advertise this channel more on linus tech tips

“One OS on top of another one, on top of another one, on top of another one”
Congratulations! You have just made a VMCeption!

[emilopardo]

im glad youtube suggested me this content, i think that i'll learn a lot here

[NikkyAI]

you can also use virtualization to run a operating system that is on your hdd/ssd
i use that to run linux either inside virtualbox in windows or to boot directly into linux (archlinux)
gets stuff done much faster (its a mess to setup and configure though)

I was searching about virtual machines on Google on my PC while my phone was playing random videos about bear attacks. After a few minutes, YouTube redirected my feed to this video. big brother at work

[maddiea]

Okay Linus. If virtualization is so great, what VM's do you suggest or prefer?
