[Qgis-user] Building QGIS >= 2.18.12 on Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya - with Oracle provider?

[Patrick Dunford]

The resource or performance hit of a VM depends very much on what you 
are doing with it. It's not a given that it will necessarily be slower. 
A Linux VM can run in as little as 15 GB of disk space, and my Linux VM 
running Qgis is faster than one running Qgis on Windows 7, and the 
Windows 7 VM also has gobbled up about 80 GB of disk.

Natively installing Debian is another option. The differences between 
all these distros aren't that great.

Or you could wait until the Oracle support is in a stable release of Qgis.
