What is the best way to use virtual machines for windows, for web and for C # programming?

Question

linux

Beginning. I study . I make websites for myself. I also started learning C#. Get used to working on Windows. Linux is also a second system.
1) How do you use virtual machines for your projects? Is it Virtualbox?
2) What is the best way?
Set up one initial one with all the programs on Windows under C#. Then copy this picture under projects?
And for web programming, set up a xubuntu snapshot in Virtualbox and also copy and fill it for a new project?
3) I used my second Xubuntu system for web programming and communication in the console with hosting servers. Will all this work if working from Windows, but xubuntu. in virtualbox on windows? And also create a new snapshot for a new project?
4) My friend proger says . That Xubuntu is not optimal, but optimal and efficient to work in Arch and the i3 tile manager. The question is, will it fully work on a virtual machine in Windows?
5) And if I buy a new laptop. Will the configured virtual machines with projects run on new hardware?

Answer 1

Choose one to work with and the system, work in it. Working in a virtual machine is somehow ...
Projects can be run in docker or vagrant (vbox) - both options will be portable.
Tile managers are awesome, but do you need them?

Answer 2

Create your own virtual machine for each environment? What?
It doesn't matter where you write your web application, it's absolutely unnecessary.
The nonsense of a Linuxoid who has gone.
Linux is a lottery, sometimes hangs in a virtual machine in a minute, sometimes on real hardware in an hour.
Yes.
I do not understand why suffer nonsense with virtual machines.

Answer 3

1. Differently, Hyper-v
   
2. So, whichever is more convenient.
   
3. It will be if the iron pulls.
   
4. Well, I think it will be if you force it, although there are progers that are difficult to force.
   
5. No. Virtual machines on bare metal do not work, you will first have to install a virtualization system.
   

Answer 4

1) How do you use virtual machines for your projects? Is it VirtualBox?

This is ESXi on a separate host. At first, it was a "server" produced by NaKolenke Ltd. for a long, long time, which, nevertheless, dragged everything you need, now all this is necessary is dragged by a real, though used, server :)
How optimal :) Everyone has their own criteria for optimality. As you need, so do it.
Him - can and optimally. For example, it is optimal for me to work for Gentoo in TDE :) And to have fun at home - and in general on Windows :)
They will start if there is the same hyper under which they were created. It is possible under another, but you will have to have a lot of sex during the transfer.
I just didn’t understand one thing - why did you start this? Worked under Windows - what prevents you from working under it further? Linux fashion? The threat of ousting Windows from the market due to sanctions? Desire to learn new things? Floor, finger, ceiling?
