Hi all, I really enjoyed my virtual Ubuntu 16 on Parallels and as new LTS appeared I went for it stright away. An unpleasant surprise is that you cannot install Parallels Tools on your newly build VM as they are not ready for kernel 4.15+, which renders your guest virtually unusable. Good news...

My MBP doesn't have a very large internal HDD, and Parallels (13.whatever-the-latest-version-is) and Windows 10 are eating up a fair chunk, so my intention is to buy an external drive and run it from that (if only I could afford an external SSD!).
