Otherwise, you can rent a cheap DO box, or even get one of the free Oracle Cloud ARM instances; you can ssh in, develop using VS Code/ RubyMine Remote, and it'll be reasonably fast.⬐ totetsuIt's a work laptop and they disabled virtualization in the bios. :( Maybe a small cloud instance is the way to go.
