What you are about to read and see happened in the space of a one hour lunch break. With that said the video clips are a little rough. You have been warned.
Creating a VM and Installing Peppermint
I have a lot of grand plans for projects. My biggest obstacle is myself. I'm taking some time from my lunch to create a virtual machine. It sounds like pretty boring stuff. Don't let it be said that I like to do things the easy way. Instead of using VMware player or VirtualBox, I opted to use something (Virtual Machine Manager) that runs natively on Linux. With it I installed Peppermint Linux.
Starting Peppermint Linux for the first time after installing on a Virtual Machine
This is a brief clip of a Linux distribution called Peppermint onto a virtual machine on my laptop. The install was already completed and this was it loading up for the first time. For a moment I thought I messed it up. Fortunately it worked.
Showing off with 2 instances of Linux and Windows 10 LTSC on one laptop
Okay it did seem like it to me at the time. After watching the clip I have to admit I seem cocky. Let's dismiss that for the moment. I was pretty happy about taking a 13 year old laptop not only create a virtual machine. I got it to run two VMs and run three operating systems at the same time. I have a bare metal installation of Garuda Linux and VM with Peppermint installed. The second VM is running the enterprise LTSC version of Windows 10. For the initial setup everything seems to be running well.
