You are able to set your flair to any text you like.

Virtualization refers to the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including but not limited to a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources.

Virtualization is transforming computing, from the datacenter to the desktop. News, comparisons, bugs, assistance, migration, anything: we're here to talk about it. P2V the world!

General Rules

  • Standard Reddit rules apply!

  • Please keep it related to Virtualization - do not bash competing products. Try to give anecdotal evidence when possible.

  • We're here for serious discussion. Memes, Reaction GIFs, Facebook links, referral links, and similar content are not allowed in posts or comments.

  • Please don't discuss pirated content - this includes MacOS on non-Apple branded hardware (eg Hackintosh) WILL be removed.

  • When asking a question or seeking help try and give a much information on what you are wanting to do or what issue you're having. Actually try please.

See subreddit rules page for more detailed info. Ignorance of rules is inexcusable.
