From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'd say VirtualBox is still your best bet b/c of its well-polished user interface - ie unless you plan to play games.
Had you installed "extension pack" & "guest additions"? If not, please do! They make a world of difference.
Grab them for the version you've installed from VirtualBox downloads directory. Install
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-x.y.z.vbox-extpack
on your machine andVBoxGuestAdditions_x.y.z.iso
on your VM.For example, for version 7.0.10:

Hello, no I haven't installed the packs yet. Will do so, thank you.
