working environment
@tarruda Sorry for bothering you with that but do you mind if you share how your working environment does work? I have recently moved from Arch Linux to Windows 10 + Virtual Box (Arch Linux), and still unsure about the best way to use X11 and so on. By the way, are you still using chromium-hterm extension?
@rainerborene I have a very custom work environment: windows 7 + headless virtualbox + vcxsrv(windows port of xorg) and pulseaudio for windows. I also have a few custom programs/scripts that improve integration of windows and linux. Basically I start linux programs from windows start menu and they look like native windows programs.
This has evolved through the last few years but I don't have it documented. Do you think it would be worth to write a blog post about it? I have thought about doing it sometimes but wasn't motivated enough.
About chromium-hterm, I haven't really started using for development because it simply wasn't as good as urxvt, at least nor for me. I do use this extension for its ssh tunneling capabilities, mostly to connect glowing bear with my vps running a weechat proxy
You should definitely blog post about it. I'm also using headless virtual box + xming, which is similar to VcXsrv but I always have to open a connection on PuTTY first, and then open urxvt terminal from there.
One of the things that bothers me is sharing folders between different OS, most of the time permissions do not get applied correctly.

In my experience, Vcxsrv works much better than xming. Clipboard support is flawless in Vcxsrv and it supports libgl indirect rendering, meaning you can even play opengl games in your VM and still use your GPU to accelerate video.
I don't use ssh/tunneling, instead I use a modified windows version of rsh which is simply used to spawn the program that connects to the vcxsrv instance.
I will see if I can write a detailed blog post next week
If you could record a screencast explaining that stuff it would be even better :D
