VM's

[ToneBone]

So a few years ago, I was trying to use Virtualbox for a cybersecurity project for a computer class. It became harder and harder to keep track of and stuff like that. I was just wondering how Linus uses his VM's and how I can use them to aid my computing needs. I want to expand my knowledge and learn how to make a windows VM and others. If i could get some guided help, that would be fantastic

I don't really have an answer, but Windows is adding an integrated VM called "Sandbox" pretty soon in the Pro, Enterprise, and (i think?) Education versions, so you might want to keep an eye on that.

If you want windows vms, look at hyper-v. Its included in windows 10 pro and above, and there is a hyper-v only server for free you can use.

 

id install hyper-v on your system and play around.

You could also use VMWare’s ESXi and run VMs in there. They offer a free license for a single host (Server). ESXi is basically the OS for the server and then you create your VMs in there. 

 

If you preffer a simpler way is to run virtual virtualbox or VMWare workstation player in your desktop.
