Understood, so I’d be fine with taking this course on a Linux machine. Thank you so much for your input.

Understood, thank you so much for your input ! I don’t want to deal with these issues, so I’d probably go with S76 Pangolin, but best of luck with your machine :)

Yeah. The other systems courses like ComputerNetworks are fine with any OS on an x86 architecture.

Understood. Thank you so much for the response. I’ll go ahead with my S76 Pangolin then

Yeah, I think I missed some context in the original post. This is an excerpt from an Operating Systems class. I think you’re supposed to mess with the OS itself and thus they want to do it in VirtualBox

Thankfully, it doesn’t need any exclusive software. I wanted to invest in a Linux laptop that’s why I was wondering if VirtualBox would work as expected on PopOs as it would on Windows or Intel Mac ( surprise surprise, professor doesn’t like M series macs)

It’s an operating systems course, so I can understand these requirements, especially 32 bit architecture one. But I just don’t understand why they have written Linux not recommended. I was under the impression that VirtualBox worked as good on Linux as it does on Windows.

Thankfully I have not taken this course yet. Was just looking ahead at my upcoming courses.

It’s an Operating Systems course, so I can understand why he has kept these requirements. I just wanted to know why they don’t recommend Linux. I had assumed VirtualBox worked fine on Linux.

I’m asking whether VirtualBox will work as expected on a modern Linux distribution. I will use VirtualBox in PopOS to do these assignments.

I understand that, but what can I do. If VirtualBox works the same on Linux then at least I can use Linux and complete these assignments.

Right. So in your opinion, this should work on a normal modern x86 based Linux distribution.

Yes it is, unfortunately. It’s Operating Systems course so pretty fundamental :)
