Looking for a lightweight OS to run MikroTik CHR without extra tools like media player, Notepad, or Paint. You mentioned you don’t need Windows and want something that works well without all the bells and whistles.

Mikrotik Wiiki indicates it uses KVM, ensuring compatibility with all widely used Linux distributions.

You can mostly obtain Windows for free, though you won't have the customization features.

Sure, I'm happy to help. Running Ubuntu using QUEMU or VirtualBox seems like a good idea for you.
