Hypervisors are software that enable virtualization, the process of creating and running multiple virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical server. Virtualization can improve the efficiency, scalability, and security of your IT infrastructure, but choosing the right hypervisor can be challenging. In this post, we will compare two popular hypervisors: Proxmox and Hyper-V. We will look at their features, pros and cons, and use cases to help you decide which one is best for your needs. ...

CPU schedulers are algorithms that determine how the CPU allocates its time and resources to the processes that are running on a system. CPU schedulers are essential for ensuring that the system can perform efficiently, fairly, and responsively. Different CPU schedulers have different goals and strategies, and they can affect the performance and behavior of the system in various ways. In this blog post, I will explain why CPU schedulers are important, and compare the top three schedulers for Linux: CFS, BFS, and MuQSS. ...

It’s not ideal to always use the console built into Proxmox for remote desktop, as the experience is not the best. To improve the experience, I was going to install and set up XRDP to get the best speed and experience possible while connecting from my main Manjaro laptop. Here, I’ve documented how to XRDP on the Fedora virtual machine and set up the connection on my Manjaro machine using Remmina. ...
