When you install Linux Mint on VirtualBox with the default settings, then when you launch Linux Mint you will most likely encounter this notification on the screen:Ĭinnamon is currently running without video hardware acceleration and, as a result, you may observe much higher than normal CPU usage.

The installation is very straight-forward like the installation of any other Ubuntu-based distro and I had no trouble installing it on my VirtualBox, so I will not talk about the installation today, but I will discuss a common issue if you run Linux Mint on VirtualBox. Linux Mint is Ubuntu-based and has an elegant desktop environment and user interface. However, if you are like me who have used Linux for a while, then you might want to try Linux Mint which is currently the most popular Linux distro. 8, and in last 3 months (at the time of writing this post) both them are still in the top 10 ranking.

Zorin OS provides a Windows-like interface and elementary OS provides a macOS-like interface, with the hope of making both Windows users and macOS users feel less intimidated when switching to Linux. In my previous posts, I introduced two Linux distros for new users: Zorin OS and elementary OS.
