I've been using several of the Unix work alike operating systems both from the BSDs and the Linuxs' from Red Hat to Debian and in between. I used to think that I had to have several machines or even a sever style machine with a metric crapton of HDDs and SDDs.
Then I found Virtualization platforms like Virtual Box and the VM ware products such as VmWare workstation and VM Ware player. I\ve found that I get much better results when I use VM Ware solutions. My question to the DaemonForums community is am I a hypocrite for preaching the value of the BSDa, while I myself don't use Net,Free or OpenBSD accept for when I spin up a virtual machine to hoiuse the veriant of BSD that I wnat to tinker with.?

Maybe you are a HYpochrit because you post a mail address in your signature and then complain about the spam?

Don't use VirtualBox or VMWare, they're both proprietary. VirtualBox is particularly bad.
Try QEMU/KVM, OpenBSD works very well under that, it even has virgl support for the graphics card: https://man.openbsd.org/viogpu

I agree with hitest but we should probably point out that OpenBSD's benevolent dictator does not approve of virtualisation:

Don't get me wrong, I've used OpenBSD in VMs many times, and it works very well, but it does somewhat compromise the security aspect of the OS.

For many years, including around the time when I started this forum, I ran Windows with VMWare Workstation and FreeBSD in a VM. This gave me the best of both: Windows for games and such, and FreeBSD for "real work". It worked pretty well for me and eliminated the constant reboots. Even did this at one job.

It is good to see some other, more pragmatical take. OpenBSD subforum has motto: Functionally paranoid. Let's not delete functionally from this motto, please.
