I'm running Kubuntu 26.04 inside QEMU and VirtualBox. Now, QEMU (with KVM enabled, --enable-kvm) is supposedly be faster, but strangely it seems slower to me. I am compiling kernel now, but that takes 2 hours on 2 cpu, which mean I have to wait 4 hours to find out.
Is there a quick way to test cpu/ram/disk, by "quick", I mean 5min max?
Well I know I gave up on virtualbox because the network interface corrupts random packets once in a while. Often enough that I would have rpm downloads in an image build fail multiple times a day (Using vagrant to do automatic image builds). Never had that problem with qemu, it just works. Doesn't hurt that the license on qemu is much better too, and the interface much more flexible. The corrupt packets has been reported many times for years and it appears they have either never tried to fix it, or they just can't figure it out. It is quite infrequent and would definitely be hard to track down. -- Len Sorensen
