I am finding it difficult to fill in forms made with MS Word in LibreOffice. The formatting seems to end up all wrong among other things, and LibreOffice feels slow and clunky to use.
I’ve tried OnlyOffice, but it tends to crash and be slow as well.
At this moment in time I am trying to get MS Office 2010. Is there a better solution?
Which hypervisor do you use?
KVM (virtual manager or boxes as gui)
Just make sure you install the virtio drivers from the Fedora project
What’s the graphics performance like these day compared to VMware and Virtual Box?
Much better compared to Virtual box as it is a hyper II hypervisor vs a type I
You will have almost no overhead with KVM. Performance impact is 1-2% depending on hardware.
KVM isn’t a Type I. VMware and virtual box aren’t strictly Type II either. They all use kernel modules and hardware assisted virtualization. So it would all be considered kernel based virtualization. People talking using these terms is normally a sign that they haven’t kept up with modern virtualization technology.
Also your confusing GPU performance with CPU performance. VMs don’t typically use the real GPU, at least not directly. So it’s about which has the best software. I know VMWare are known for having decent GPU emulation, though with VirGL KVM might take the win. Unfortunately VirGL doesn’t work on Windows. After looking at it it seems VMWare is best for graphics. I am also wondering if I can do seamless mode on KVM. That’s something both Virtual Box and VMWare can do.
