Sure, you can find ISO images for those operating systems on official websites or trusted repositories. Check Microsoft for Windows 7, Oracle for Windows XP, Apple’s archive for macOS, and Ubuntu’s download page. Make sure to verify the authenticity before downloading.
ISO for Windows 7 link provided. Windows XP is no longer supported, so you may need to explore unofficial methods to obtain it. Ubuntu download page mentioned. It seems you might need a key or similar access before proceeding. Be cautious of risky options. Darker alternatives could be worth considering.
Try Microsoft Edge and various versions of Internet Explorer from 8 up to 11. You can obtain and control the virtual machines yourself at no cost.
Unless you're using this VM on a Mac, I don't think you're permitted to install Mac OS, no matter the situation.
Using Internet Explorer 8 could potentially support running Windows 7.
Ubuntu uses a lot of system resources, making it demanding for a Linux distribution. I wouldn’t recommend using less than 4GB RAM. Consider installing Ubuntu on a bootable USB rather than a virtual machine, and if you need to preserve your files, you can follow this guide: http://askubuntu.com/questions/397481/ho...e-than-4gb Linux Mint. This alternative distro shares many repositories, applications, and features with Ubuntu and runs lighter desktop environments. You can also visit the official site for more info: https://linuxmint.com/download.php. The choice of edition doesn’t matter much—though I experienced some performance issues with MATE due to virtual graphics drivers, but it didn’t affect the overall experience significantly.
In my opinion, Unity generally outperforms Unity in terms of graphics resources, especially based on personal experience.
Yeah, but other DEs have had their share of shitty implementations as well. Xubuntu supposed to be resource light due to XFCE, but ended up being just as resource heavy as Ubuntu. If other distros came in Unity flavors, we might see that it isn't just Unity being a pig, relative to the bulk of DEs of Unix and Unix-like operating systems.
Unity functions almost like an Ubuntu-only desktop environment. It also behaves similarly in other Ubuntu-based systems like Xubuntu. Some believe Unity might be the most lightweight DE ever created, though its performance is limited by current implementation. Personally, I find it hard to use Gnome on powerful machines for smooth operation. Once sufficient resources are available, Unity becomes a strong and flexible option.
