How to speed up Ubuntu in VmWare?

Question

VMware

Hello!
As a Windows 10 host, as a guest OS Ubuntu 18.04, Guest Additions are installed, but Ubuntu still lags, in the browser when you scroll the pages, it slows down. I played with the VM settings, set everything possible - there was no sense.
Computer specifications:
I7-8700k
SSD 512 Nvme
RTX 2080TI
32 GB RAM

Tell me what I'm doing wrong? How can productivity be increased?

Answer 1

In general, I tried to mess around with VMware for a long time, there are enough glitches there, not even counting performance. In general, to speed up VMware, it is advised to install vmware-tools, they say there are optimized firewood, etc.
There are many installation options, I personally did not master any (there were certain errors everywhere), as a result, I spat on VMware in general (tired of wading through bugs like through forest blockages), downloaded Oracle VM VirtualBox from here:
https://www .oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/...
I also downloaded the Extensions Pack from there - after installing it, USB2.0 and USB3.0 controllers become available for the guest system. It became a little faster in general, but did not fundamentally improve the situation.
In general, VirtualBox is a very capricious rubbish - firstly, if you have a broken Windows (I had Win 7 x64), it refuses to work, you have to restore system files via the console by running sfc /scannow and disable access to the addresses from which Windows is updated - Windows swears, that "not authenticated" but works. If you then run the system activator again, VirtualBox does not work again - when you try to start it, it gives obscure errors like "can't create session" or something like that.
Further, if the host machine is put to sleep and then exit and try to start the virtual machine, it will not start either, and without any errors at all, it hangs stupidly and that's it. However, against the background of VMware, this is still back and forth.
In short, summing up, purely IMHO VMware, like VirtualBox - a complete hat. Now I'm thinking of trying Parallels Workstation, according to reviews, it works noticeably faster, although it seems to be no longer being updated.

Linux is not for displaying graphics from inside a virtual machine in Windows. If you want it smoothly - put it next to it.

Check if you have not enabled the 2D and 3D acceleration option in the virtual machine settings. Yes, and to install the accelerator drivers, as far as I remember, you need to specifically run the guest windows system in safe mode.
ps Recently I installed winxp in virtualbox and for testing in vmware (esxi), I couldn't get their emulated video accelerator to work, but I remember for sure a few years ago it worked very fast! It is quite possible that it is the big uncles (oracle) who have spoiled it on purpose. That's the way it is now, unfortunately.
upd. I just installed 3D acceleration in win7 guest when using virtualbox as described above, scrolling is smooth in the browser, the screensaver 3D letters are spinning...
