Hi all, i was busy trying to dual boot ubuntu with windows. Then i realised that dell's navigation is full of shit for a blind person, and it does not work to good. So i will rather run it in a virtual machine. what is the best way for a blind person to run an ubuntu vm?
what is the best app to do this with? Please don't tell me vmware... unless it is the only option out there...
ha
i'll still say run it in vmware.
vertualbox doesn't seems that good for me at least
vmware is the best
I've never gotten Virtualbox to work either, save for with Docker for Windows which does the management for you. it's a fine enough app, but almost completely inaccessible. VMWare is your best bet if you want to run Orca/etc, but if you just want bash and CLI tools you can get away with installing Ubuntu under WSL from the Microsoft store and typing bash at any command prompt thereafter.
@Meatbag, Unless it's hardware related, but yeah. VMWare for the win!
@6, hardwear related like how, there is an old version of it that works on 32 bit, what more do you neade
VMWare player is free and works great, so why not use it? You can probably also use QEmu and Virtualbox, both should be usable, but both are not as powerful as VMWare. Docker for Windows is usable, but its entire purpose is something different than running an actual OS that you can use actively and thus would be overkill and much to complicated for such a situation.

Some processors don't support virtualization, though I don't think Virtualbox gets around that either. There can also be issues with some of these if you're running under a hypervisor already, which can happen if you had to enable Hyper-v for some reason, though I think VMWare doesn't care about that case.
@camlorn, I hate that I have to mess with stuff just to be able to use Windows Sandbox, then back to VMWare, then back to Sandbox. Feels so unproductive!
I mean, if you don't specifically need audio you can just use Hyper-v directly, or docker for windows, or wsl, etc.
@camlorn, Hmmm, ya lost me.

Hyper-v is VMWare by Microsoft, but unable to do audio. WSL is run Ubuntu in standard Windows command prompt with access to your Windows files but unable to do audio. Docker is a "I need to manage 20 vms all at the same time" programmer tool.
Easiest to install is WSL and that'll get you enough for almost anything Linux CLI, and WSL2 is in the near future to give us the rest, but obviously the running theme here is no audio, and except for hyper-v the running theme is also Linux.
Ok, then vmware i gues...
Ok, i got Za linux vm up and running, it would be cool if i could dual boot it, then the experience would not be that laggy with the keyboard. but i guess i will have to deal with it since that is what a vm does...
