And if they find out you've been using it commercially (even just your home machine you have a non-running copy on connecting to your company's VPN network) without an existing licence, they're squeezing your balls in open court.

I looked it up, $50 per licence with a 100 licence minimum. Shame, Id pay per licence if I could, but instead I’ll probably just block their traffic and breach their licence. I doubt they can legally enforce those terms in Australia.

Has anyone had luck getting decent GUI performance (macOS host, Linux guest)? I don't need 3D, just sane 2D performance. The last time I tried this, it was so bad that I had to drastically decrease the window size to get reasonable performance. As in, it would basically lock up above a certain window size, and no reasonable amount of waiting would get it to respond. (And yes, I fiddled with all of the obvious knobs f…

For a Linux guest, I just forward the host's pulseaudio socket over ssh. ssh -R /run/user/1000/pulse/native:/run/user/1000/pulse/native -X the-vm the-audio-using-command I use this VM for occasional video watching and for video conferencing and haven't had any audio problems.

This is a good hack, and it works better than a lot of alternatives, albeit Linux-on-Linux VMs have arguably few uses since systemd-nspawn exists (so you can just --bind the Pipewire socket in the VM)

I discovered a few days ago that VMware now offer a 'Fusion 12 Player', which is free (as in beer) albeit you have to register to get the download + key. Might be worth looking into that?

And who would take their place moving Java forward? Since Sun went down, it hardly goes over 10% of external contributions, and no one else cared about getting hold of Java 6.
