Download Virtualbox For Linux Mint [NEW]
Guy Clena
Now. I started the machine and entered the previously downloaded file linuxmint-20-cinnamon-64bit.That works, then the Virtual Box screen comes up, quickly after that it changes to the Linux Mint start screen saying "Welcome to Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon 64-bit" and below that options what to do. First of them is "Start Linux Mint".
Problem will be I load up the VM and hit F12 to boot from the CD/DVD which is pointed to the mounted ISO file which will at this attempt is linuxmint-15-cinnamon-dvd-64bit.iso At which point I will see a screen saying Linux Mint Autoboot in 10.. 9.. then as soon as the count down reaches zero I am stuck on this screen.
newbie here-I googled a lot and watched a bunch of youtube videos but could not solve my problem of guest additions not working after installation of ubuntu and its associated guest additions , then i tried mint, did not work in the beginning after installing of guest add.

The Linux mint is getting more popular and it is gaining same popularity as the Ubuntu Desktop once had. Some of the Ubuntu users even started using Linux mint. Though both operating systems are great with respect to usability, it is hard to predict which one is better over the other. That is still a debatable question.
But I might still take some time to make the switch from Ubuntu to the Linux mint. The only issue is that I have my gns3 remote server and KVM configured in it, and there are a lot of files in the Ubuntu as well.
The Linux Mint is based on Debian derivative and since most of the hypervisors do support Debian, you can virtualize Linux mint on pretty much any hypervisors. I have installed Linux mint on KVM, VMware workstation, and now on VirtualBox.
As VirtualBox supports Windows, MAC, and Linux, you can virtualize Linux mint irrespective of the operating system that you have, because you can run VirtualBox and virtualize Linux mint with it. And it is opensource and free too.
