I am a complete newbie, hope this suggestion is relevant.
It might apply mostly to Linux guests, but I am not sure. Please move the post if it is misplaced.
I have just tested VirtualBox for running Linux on Mac OS.
-And ran into a bunch of problems. Of course.
Most could have been avoided if I had known which settings to use.
For instance:
I installed Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon.
Chose Linux Ubuntu 64 as the guest profile on setup.
VDI was then recommended to be 10GB.
-And that halted the installation, since Linux Mint 18.3 requires 10,7GB...
To make it short, I got Linux Mint running perfectly after changing the settings to:
15GB VDI
2GB RAM
128MB Video Card RAM
3D Hardware support enabled
(And of course updating Linux and installing Guest Additions after installing.)
This took me a lot of searching and reading to figure out.
And to help others, I would want to suggest those settings as a template in Guided Mode.
As far as I can tell after googling around, this would fix a lot of install problems on different distros.
-And remove some redundant posts in forums...
Hope this post isn´t redundant!
