![]() ![]() To be more precise, Exagear Desktop is an application-level virtual machine. So, here we could give up, but fortunately, we have Exagear Desktop!Īs you’ve probably understood from the info above, Exagear Desktop is a virtual machine that supports x86 translation to ARM architecture. One can recall cross-architecture solution of QEMU, but QEMU does it with huge performance overheads and with a lot of limitations. This happens because modern virtual machines can not emulate another CPU, they just allow Guest OS system to share hardware resources with the host OS. But even if you overcome all the obstacles you will face another issue – you can not run x86 software inside your VM. Installing and using the open-source VMs that support ARM (like QEMU or KVM) may be rather tricky. Although Raspberry Pi is the most popular mini PC device, developing such sophisticated software as a virtual machine would require much effort. That is why common solutions for PC world will not work – VMware and VirtualBox support only x86 architecture. RPi has a different CPU architecture comparing to usual PC – it is based on ARM CPU instead of x86. Virtual machines are very popular in PC world and have a lot of applications there. ![]()
