• Can I run Linux on my old PC ?

  Yeah, for sure you can give It a try! Imo you have to use a lite desktop environment like xfce maybe . You can have a pretty good idea of what can be your experience Just running a live distro like Ubuntu xfceUbuntu xfce or Linux Mint xfce, if you are really desperate you can also try a very very lightweight like puppy linux. I Will try One of the First 2 in live mode and if It runs well you can install It on the... Source: 12 months ago

• Can my computer run linux VM?

  If you still want to try it on a VM, I'd recommend assigning just 1 GB to it, coupled with a lightweight desktop environment, like XFCE (you can use Xubuntu). Source: 12 months ago

• Should I use Ubuntu 16 in 2023?

  To get a modern lightweight Linux experience you can use a recent version of one the Ubuntu flavours that is optimized for low-resource machines: either Xubuntu (with XFCE) or Lubuntu (with LXQt). Source: about 1 year ago

• Why does resizing windows in Linux desktop don't feel quite as "snappy" as in other OSes?

  It works just fine for me in Xubuntu (Ubuntu with Xfce Desktop environment : https://xubuntu.org/ ). Source: about 1 year ago

• Distro Suggestion

  I run an older spec of the HP Stream. There's no perfect solution, it will be a bit laggy, but I've had good enough performance from the Fedora XFCE Spin and Xubuntu. Source: about 1 year ago

• Linux virtual machines, with a focus on running containers

  Since we're here. What do people use when they need to test their software installs well on naked Ubuntu Server of some version? To not do manual setup in VMWare, can be Linux-only. I've found Multipass https://multipass.run/ by Canonical and I wonder if anyone recommends it. - Source: Hacker News / 19 days ago

• Packer Workflows with Jenkins

  Multipass I love Multipass for quick Ubuntu instances spun up for testing or as a playground. Wish I would have known and used of it sooner. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• VMs on macOS using Apple's native Virtualization.Framework

  If you just need Ubuntu then you can try "Multipass" from Canonical (https://multipass.run/). Works quite well on my M2 Air. I haven't tried using Linux GUI with it though as I need only terminal based VMs. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Simulate an Ubuntu-like VM inside macOS

  I have been using Multipass [0] for a while and it works great to quickly spin up an Ubuntu environment on my MacBook. It supports cloud config in case you want a custom instance. It seems to be limited to running Ubuntu instances only (at least, I haven't figured out how to run other Linux instances) but if you want a quick clean Ubuntu VM I would recommend it. 0: https://multipass.run/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• VirtualBox 7.0.10 download links have disappeared

  I would be cautious or even distrustful of using anything from Oracle. VirtualBox components come under three different licenses - GPLv2, personal use & evaluation license, and an enterprise license. Their VirtualBox license FAQ [1] gives them enough leeway to change future licenses at will. If an exploit is discovered in your old VirtualBox and they've changed the license, you're out of luck. We've moved our... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
