Scripts I run have access to my development environment for a free software project I already keep in a public repo.

What they don't have access to is my actual desktop, nor yesterday's snapshot of the VM desktop.

It's obviously not as fast as running GNU on bare metal, but it's fast enough for text work.

I guess this is where we set the bar in 2019.

Isn't the bar wherever you need it to be, on your own system, whatever the year?

I'm not GP commenter, but certainly what I do for a living is browse the the internet and edit text files.

That's where my bar has been for 20+ years.

Ah okay, that's why I thought to include 'at least for me' - because our 'all my development's were different! :)

For me, the VM was my entire machine. (It wasn't meant to improve security, it was purely because I wanted Linux but couldn't have it on the host.)

That's a big part of the motivation for me.

I wanted GNU tools and environment, and I also wanted to not have to install Linux on the Apple hardware, because I don't have the patience for that.
