Searching for budget-friendly Linux distributions for virtual machines.
I recently installed a dual monitor setup for my budget PC and am attempting to run a virtual machine on the second screen so both of us can work together. I was considering Windows XP because it’s straightforward to use. Now I’m searching for a suitable low-end Linux distribution for my VM. Thanks!
The system running is either Windows Server or Linux, with specific configurations needed for the setup.
Running two users with VMs is challenging and rarely reliable. Multi-user mode allows several people to use one machine with individual monitors, keyboards, and mice. You can experiment with VirtualBox on macOS (any OS should work here—avoid XP). Then assign a second keyboard and mouse via USB and enable full-screen mode.
Consider your needs and preferences when choosing a Linux distribution. Ubuntu is user-friendly, Fedora offers modern features, Debian provides stability, and others have unique strengths.
