hey everyone, i got struck by covid, hence the absence from the board. Regarding the questions of "why": I agree, in that it is of course not for admin or any normal use of linux. For me, i constantly break my linux distros when I am too agressively *un-informed* install elements or change elements that i need for ai or cgi development. I am getting better of course to not fall into the trap but mostly it is like " this tool requires xyz version of java or python or this requires that dependencie but has another one (newer or older) installed already and it is impossibly hard for me to cut it out of the system or to get something running. Hence, with a VM instead of my root system on my workstations or notebook i could createe specific and more importantly clean VMs for specifc projects. OR when I actually try something and accidentially ruin a dependency or fry the system I could just reset it. I am/ where going to get into docker to create docker containers for that but along the way realized, that it is a)neccessary but steep learning curve and b) for this simple task maybe overkill.
But since I often have to deal with graphics, it is much much more convenient to have the GUI available and not need to switch to a different system etc.
the teamviewer / remote view alternatives are of course an option to bypass.
