You can adjust the RAM requirements once the VM is configured. If it feels slow, you might need more memory or optimize settings.

Yes, I adjusted the CPU settings. VirtualBox starts with a single core by default.

I didn't manage to save this after I configured the VM. It seems like there was an issue.

Try dual booting by switching between Windows and Linux. You can restart each time you need to change operating systems or use a virtual machine to run Linux inside Windows. For detailed steps, see the guides: https://www.howtogeek.com/214571/how-to-...n-your-pc/ and https://www.howtogeek.com/196060/beginne...-machines/

Click the VM, then go to settings at the top. You're free to adjust any setting as long as the device is turned off.

Thanks, it looks like it's running a bit quicker, even though typing feels smooth. (from inside my virtual machine)

Do you have an SSD or an HD? If it's the latter, you have roughly 150m/s to manage the host and VM. If you're considering switching to Linux, I'd boot from a USB for a more hands-on experience.

Linux is garbage and broken on nearly every modern computer. Not to mention the serious lack of driver support. It's really not worth the headaches.
