Steps to install Linux mint on VirtualBox.Can I virtualize Linux mint in any hypervisor?.I still wanted to stick with Ubuntu on my spare machine for some more time, will keep you posted if I change my mind and made the switch to linux mint :).Īnyways, lets go ahead and install the Linux mint on VirtualBox. The only issue is that I have my gns3 remote server and KVM configured in it, and there are a lot of files in the Ubuntu as well. My other plan also was to use the Linux mint in VirtualBox for few weeks and then replace the Ubuntu on my other laptop, so far, the environment is very stable, and I didn’t have much issue with it.īut I might still take some time to make the switch from Ubuntu to the Linux mint. Especially whenever I wanted to test out my network lab, I can always use the Virtualbox VM’s as well into the network topology in gns3. So I decided to start with the Linux mint installation on the VirtualBox. Initially, I deployed the VM in VMware workstation, as I use VMware workstation heavily for GNS3, I didn’t want to mess up the VMware workstation environment. Since I wanted to see how good Linux mint was, I decided to spin up the VM in VirtualBox on my Windows 10 machine. I am also an Ubuntu user and I have a dedicated Ubuntu machine that I use when I wanted to spin up some VM’s in the KVM environment. Some users love the Ubuntu GNOME desktop experience and others love the Linux mint experience due to its similarity with the Windows desktop. Though both operating systems are great with respect to usability, it is hard to predict which one is better over the other. Some of the Ubuntu users even started using Linux mint. The Linux mint is getting more popular and it is gaining same popularity as the Ubuntu Desktop once had.
