Linux Mint is a popular Linux distribution for desktop computers and laptops. It comes with a wide range of pre-installed software and is easy to install.

Linux Mint is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit systems, which makes it an excellent choice for older PCs that are not powerful enough to run more recent versions of Windows. Linux Mint Cinnamon is the default desktop environment, but you can install other desktops like KDE or Xfce if you prefer those environments.

Step 7: Select VDI (Virtual Disk Image) and click Next.

Step 11: Click on the system, go to the processing tab and set it to 4.

Step 12: Click on display and set up the display for 128 GB.

Step 13: Click on Storage and inside Storage, you want to select the empty disk, then click on the little disk on the right-hand side. Choose a disk file and this is where you need to go to your Downloads folder, where you’ve downloaded the ISO image file, select the ISO image file and then click on open.

3. Starting the Virtual Machine

Step 14: Go to VirtualBox Manager and make sure that Linux Mint is selected and then click on the Start button. Click on the first option and start the installation process.
