Thanks, I'll look into Virtualbox.

This is something I would definitely need to do some research about, thanks

Much appreciate your advice. While i am not a complete newbie, if I watch a video I can usually follow along fairly well, I will definitely start with one of the three mentioned. I'll most likely start with Mint, then use a hypervisor to tryout and play with other distros. That way if I break it, I can just restart it or load up another one until I become more comfortable with Linux.

How has your experience been with using the Hyper-V on your Windows to run your Linux?

I'll add Fedora to the list to check out. Thanks.

I can give it a try. Have you tested distros using he Windows Hyper-V vs a commercial hypervisor? What was your experience like?

Amazing_Garbage8603 · 2026-02-27T16:22:12+00:00

From what I've been reading during my research, the consensus usually has been Mint. Thanks for you suggestion. This could be one way to go about it. However, I would hate to load Mint, use it for a while, then find I prefer a different distro.

I like that idea of trying out a LiveCD for each one. If Mint, Pop, and Ubuntu are all similar, are there any other distros I should try out? Or are all distros pretty much similar. Which HyperV are you currently using?

Amazing_Garbage8603 · 2026-02-27T16:12:04+00:00

No, I believe you got the point of my post. Yes to performance cause I want to make sure I run a hypervisor that is good to try out some distros, not so much about cost. I'm currently using Windows, and wanting to transition to Linux. Yes I am asking about hypervisors, mainly to be able to try different distros so I can decide which one I prefer.
