What's the problem here? That's how I started with Linux.

when you do it this way, it's foss, when you do it the other way around, it's piracy

What's with the 19 👎️ in that pic? I guess people really do hate Oracle.

Eh, that's still a decent gateway drug

Don't even need virtual box. You can just install Linux directly on Windows using what they call "WSL" (Windows subsystem for Linux)

They're doing it the wrong way round, VBox was actual garbage on Windows the last time I tried it. On Linux it just works and on Windows I considered myself lucky whenever something worked.

I’d love to run Linux as the primary env, but without a second GPU for GPU passthrough windows is basically useless for gaming.

So for now windows is the primary environment

I don't get it? I first experienced Linux on Virtual Box (back when it was by Sun Microsystems, somewhere in 2011)

This is a really good way of introducing people to desktop Linux, it's miles better than telling them to run WSL /etc

I'm sorry but this is just... Toxic?

Can you install Linux, to install windows, which has a copy of Linux installed? I assume the only end system resources?

I hope today is Opposite day!
