How was your experience with running Ubuntu on Virtual Box?

I got tired of Windows screwing up GRUB everytime I update it that I tried running Linux virtually and found the display to be the weakest link even with 3D acceleration turned on.

Yeah, it was really a Pain in the back. It took some time for me to fix the grub and the resolution stuffs. I used vmWare earlier and tried Manjaro on it but in my experience virtual box with ubuntu has been a charm to work on.

I do it by choice. Win is a solid platform with many ways to get the perks available under *nix.

I like the GUI experience of windows. Nothing can beat it. But Linux gives me control. I just feel at home with Linux whereas in Windows there is some kind of uneasy feeling.

Nothing unfortunate about that.

I just wish my primary work was on Linux. I started with .net then kind of stuck with it. Not that it's bad but I just wish I had more choices.
