virtual machine

For a while now, I've been checking out other distros so I can eventually switch to one, and Nitrux is one I want to try. I downloaded Gnome Boxes because the description said it's very easy to set up VMs. The problem is every time I try to set up any distro in a VM, I get an error message...

Hello, all I am new and this is my first post. I'm glad to be here! I have been playing around, and reading/learning about, Linux the past several weeks. (I have a Raspberry Pi 400 I've been checking out and I have a small Lenovo laptop with Ubuntu). I have an ASUS 17" gaming laptop and I...

Because I've been using Mint for the last 10 years, I recently decided its time for a different change in pace. For my new distro, I want to try out Zorin, but every time I click on "create virtual machine from file", and then click on the iso, nothing happens.

Hello I am new to the site but the information you have on here is great. I have a question regarding virtual machine drives. I was cleaning up my files and deleted the .vdi for a machine I no longer wanted. The goal was to wipe it and then start over with the same machine type/OS. When I go...

Last night, I was running Ubuntu MATE in Virtualbox, and when I was installing updates for it, it ate up too many resources and severely slowed down my computer. Even though I am running relatively-old hardware, and I did close down any programs I wasn't using (as @Tolkem suggested in a previous...

I often keep a virtual machine running for relatively long periods of time, and after a while, the fan on my desktop gets loud (probably because it's using so much energy at the time). After I shut the VM down, the fan quiets down. I've been thinking about upgrading the hardware since its...

problem is. I don't know where to start or what to learn. the terminal? which distro should I start with and which one should I end on? obviously all this sounds very generic and over-asked, yet I'd like to clarify that I had prior experience with linux. Pop!_OS in particular, I used it for...

I hope whoever is reading this is doing well. The issue is that I am getting screen stuttering/lagging on some distributions when I run them as VMs using virt-manager. The issue occurs with distros like Fedora, Kali, and Manjaro. However, the VMs of Ubuntu and ParrotOS (I think it is based on...

I used to have two USBs: a SSD with my Kali Linux and a 16gb stick with Tails. I'm planning on creating a Tails VM so i can use the security this Linux distro provides, and i need to know what are the best network options (NAT? Host-only?) to pick and if using Kalitorify while changing the mac...
