Install Linux on VirtualBox Windows 10 [2024]
You hear your friends talking about Linux all the time, or maybe you’re just wondering which OS is better for you, Windows or Linux. You’re tempted to give it a try, but you’re not sure if you’ll like Linux. Is there a way to try it out first? Luckily, there is.
You can use VirtualBox to install a Linux-based operating system within Windows 10. While you can dual boot a Linux operating system alongside Windows, VirtualBox provides a much cleaner slate if you decide to switch away from the Linux operating system after a few days.
You can install any Linux operating system this way, but for this tutorial we'll use Ubuntu as it's the most popular.
