So, as part of the program (and to cover a Mastery Topic), I decided to install Ubuntu (a Linux based OS) on my Laptop.

To do so, i decide to ask Mr. Ken for help, but, he told me it was not a good idea to install it directly, since there was the risk of me losing all of my data. So, he told me to install a virtual machine (VirtualBox) to run it as a computer inside my computer, so that way if it crashed, it would be the program, and not my PC.

So, to do so, you basically have to download virtual box, and install Linux on that one. Im not totally sure on how to do it, but I will leave a video.

In any case, here si the link to download the Virtual Box.

Here is a video from YouTube user sakitech.
