Are there any VMs that aren't absolutely terrible?

WSL will not mount an ext4 SD card. It can mount ext4 hard drives. Not flash drives. Because MS sucks. but VMWare causes the most obnoxious repeating beep sound, gets itself locked up, locks the mouse cursor inside its window, and keeps beeping even after I kill the task, forcing me to reboot. VirtualBox will not share the clipboard from host->device, will not mount my remote filesystem, and will not function as though it was written by competent people. Surely there's a market out there for VM software that isn't awful. Am I the only one that wants a functioning VM out there?

Hyper-V is mostly okay. The only problem I've had recently is that enhanced session mode stopped working on Ubuntu VMs. I think that was caused by a Windows update but I'm not sure.
I got WSL doing what I need it to, despite it fighting me. I had to recompile the kernel, and mortgage my soul to make it go, but it's limping along with the help of a bag-on-the-side C# app on the windows side, exposing my SD card as an iSCSI block device over TCP. Hell, it lets me use
lsblkand things with it now so I can't complain. :laugh:Check out my IoT graphics library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx And my IoT UI/User Experience library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/uix
