![]() qemu might be slower and might corrupt data if you don't know what you're doing (the "mights" are in there for you naysayers who want to disagree, you know it's contentious, we don't have to debate it), but it gives you way more introspection tools - it's designed for things like this. Also look into qemu instead of virtualbox/vmware for the initial dev. Lots of $20 words which basically means if it's a hobby, go for it, if you want to make it serious, invert that process and start with VM first then use hardware as part of a larger testing flow. It'll be a blast but you'll get poor reproducibility which will make any high assurance of defect resolution elusive. If entertainment and recreation is what you're in it for, give it a go - the hardware is cheap these days. Using physical hardware with a serial kernel debugger over a db9 null modem cable was way more fun. So the real answer is that it depends why you're in it. ![]() It was fun, I was probably the only in the class not using a VM. I remember around 2003 when I told myself I'd use real hardware for my OS class at uni.
