At least in my experience, you won’t gain anything significant from using a raw disk for your vms.

I have a basic “compliance” car that is a 2014 Ford Focus with 140,000 miles. The only maintenance i have done so far is replace the 12v battery and put tires on it.

Windows 98 second edition By then i was bored with windows and a friend told me about Linux and i haven’t looked back.

Don’t forget Wayland and security into the mix as well. That seems to have caused some of the biggest issues with apps. Don’t get me wrong though, security was desperately needed. X11 had no concept of security.

It depends on where your priorities are. For me i would go for cheap\shitty place so long as it was safe enough and i wasn’t going to be robbed all the time. Save the money and then go buy a place you really like when you can afford it better.

Have you played with NextCloud
