I want to use virtual machines for my everyday work on my laptop (with a Intel Core i5-3320M @ 2.60 GHz * 4 and 16GB RAM), using KVM on Debian as my hypervisor. But I can't find any general guidelines for how much system resources to "give" to a VM. How many logical cores? How much RAM? Note that the primary OS only should act as a hypervisor.
How much RAM and how many cores do you think the work in question needs? Answer that, and you have the basis for your answer.
