Virtual Machines

Haaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

cough

Hello.

What IS A VIRTUAL MACHINE????

So what *are* they?

Imagine the following....

And yes, before you ask. It's possible to run nested VMs.

Its like making your computer pretend its gone a second, smaller computer inside it

And for those of us that use the wrong OS, you can always run Windows VMs if you want to use anything with >3 users

Imagine the following:

[FIND SOME WAY TO PUT THE VIDEO IN HERE]

So, how do you stop small asian gymnasts from rooting around in your PC where it shouldn't be?

Virtual Machines! It's like nailing this box shut!

(Ignore the implications of that)

So when you do this....

You can just kill that sandbox, and spin up a new one!

For today, we'll be using VirtualBox

Ignore the somewhat-ancient looking layout

Download the installer for your OS, get it, run it, you know the drill.

Run the program, you'll get this screen

For today, we'll try out some new OSes. Go here for TempleOS, or here for UwUntu. We'll start out with TempleOS, because its lighter and quicker to download.

Download the .iso files, and put them in a folder that you can easily access.

Next, go back to the VirtualBox application

Try not to allocate your entire memory. That's generally considered a bad idea.

Hit 'Finish'

And now, you've got the following!:

Hit "Start", let your machine power up....

And from here, explore the OS! And if your PC is on fire, you've done something wrong. Most of the time, at least.
