READ THIS FIRST - When installing other guest operating systems using VirtualBox, you may need to adjust the memory (RAM), and CPU, which I showed you in this video. If you are creating a Windows or Mac guest OS, you may need to adjust some of the settings higher than you would with Linux. On older computers, you may need to enable virtualization in the Bios. If you are experiencing issues with adjusting the size of the guest OS as shown in the video, you may need to install the "Guest Additions" for VirtualBox. Here's a link to the instructions. docs.oracle.com/cd/E36500_01/E36502/html/qs-guest-additions.html Thanks for watching :)

TechGumbo . Which is better gimp or krita?

@lylestavast7652 6 жыл бұрын

Nicely done. I've been using this tool for most of its life, it's been really stable and super useful. I've worked in Unix/linux commercially since 1980, some things I can do in my sleep there, which take forever and paid tools in Windows world (which I have no argument with btw - I think 10 is a great OS) .

For people who dont understand the "Erase Disk and Install" option, it does not mean your actual PC's hard disk. Remember that this window contains the Linux OS installation, and is not linked with your PC. Remember that we put the optical disk as the installation. that is what it means.

@woshikakadong 5 жыл бұрын

Theoretically yes. But if your underlying hardware does not support hardware-assisted virtualization like intel VTX technology, then you will not get a lot of work done on this nested VM environment, because it will be way too slow to operate. For example, Hardware runs HostOS, HostOS runs GuestOS, and GuestOs runs NestedGuestOS. Now a single page fault or system call in the nestedGuestOS has to go through 2 levels of "world switches" one of the GuestOS and possibly of the hostOS which actually knows where the real pages are mapped. Do you see how this would be a problem ? Your NestedGuestOS would almost always be stuck in a syscall or page fault... So for practical reasons, this won't be useful unless you have hardware-assisted virtualization enabled.

Wow this is everything an explorer geek would want to test things out! This can be so much fun to see what is out there. My question would be, will virtual box allow more than one operating system at a time to be installed? (thus selecting between one operating system from another) I'm really glad that the Tech Gumbo crowd got behind this request but, REALLY happy that you listened and did not hesitate to make a video. THANK YOU we much appreciate it! (if the Gumbo Nation will allow me to say a collective Thank you.) Maybe we can follow up with what more you can do with Ubuntu if you haven't already done that.
