[Evil bastritch mode]
On Linux, you should use eclipse.

Eclipse crashes all the time on me. MonoDevelop is okay
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Then you have to work on the infrastructure that supports eclipse.
You're doing it wrong until 40% of your time is spent on maintaining eclipse.

I'm happy with my current setup, thanks

Might be worth considering if you really need a full VS installation -- I fully switched to Ubuntu as primary OS a couple of months ago. My C# development now all happens with .NET Core and VSCode as IDE... granted, I don't use C# that much anymore (mostly switched over to Rust, absolutely loving that language) and it's definitely not an option for you if you need VSIX projects, but it could be worth thinking about

I really don't like VScode. I don't know why. I like MonoDevelop on linux.
Still yeah, I need VSIX and all that. I write a lot of code generation utilities

Why would windows in a VM be faster than just Windows?
|
|
|
|
|
I never said it was. In fact I was worried it wouldn't be fast enough. I thought that was clear in my OP.

So if your computer is too slow, why not just install windows?
|
|
|
|
|
Because windows gets slower and slower over time and my VS seems to like to wreck windows.
It breaks on VSIX projects and then no matter what, no visual studio installation, even new installs will build vsix projects on the machine.
it's ridiculous but it's part of why i'm running in a VM. So i can just restore state and keep developing.

OK, that's fair. I used to have a cheap notebook I could reset with a keypress, I'd reset it to test installers
|
|
|
|
|
that's nice to have around.

It was at the time. I was writing commercial software and regularly testing installers

It's looks like I'm a bit late to the party now - but my box is running arch/i3-gaps and VS-code. Not sure whether you need the Microsoft stuff specifically, but it runs fine on a 4 year old MacBook. Wouldn't recommend setting up Arch unless you've a reasonable grasp of Linux, you can pretty much replace it with any linux.
Virtual Box should be fine on linux. The only thing I'd suggest is ditching either Ubuntu and going for a lighter distro, or possibly ditching the Ubuntu desktop manager and using something lighter to free up system resources for the VM - this seems to be a good article it's aimed at Unbuntu server (which Also this which is aimed at desktops specifically . The Mate desktop seems popular, I've not used it. XFCE is very light, I used to use it on an old atom-processor netbook.
You can set the system up so you can choose the environment at login - so you can test things out until you find one you are happy with.

I got it running smoothly in ubuntu, with about 5gb of RAM allocated to the VM and 3 for Ubuntu. Everything works except the VSIX test instances

Ahh good, should be fine then.

(hardware seems to be on-topic today ... )
I'm in the process of upgrading my gaming PC.
I need to upgrade CPU/motherboard/RAM and GPU.
I currently have a GigaByte motherboard, so, why not look at what they have now :
They have 400+ motherboard available
Looking at ASUS, same sh*t.
Same crap for GPU, either AMD or Nvidia.
I'd rather be phishing!

If I may offer a word of advice: Get a main board with a dedicated M.2 form factor SSD connector.
|
|
|
|
|
the M.2 connector comes with a legacy SATA port that has AHCI mode compatibility.
does anyone knows if this SATA port on the M.2 supports IDE mode for hard drives?
|
|
|
|
|
No. Sorry I do not know the answer.

start from the specs you want (CPU, slots, memory, M2) and work backwards.
I found NewEgg best at letting you narrow choices by spec
- not saying should buy from them, but their product chooser (check boxes on left hand side) is the best I've found
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

Over the years I've bought most of my hardware from newegg, great outfit.

frys is pretty good too, as long as you know what you're looking for. I usually find what i want at newegg and then compare with frys

be careful with Frys. I've managed to acquire gray market stuff from them.
