I've got a laptop with the following specs:
i3 5020u (2.2GHz, 3MB Cache, 2 cores, 4 threads), 4GB RAM (1660 MHz), 128GB SSD, GPU: Intel HD Graphics 5500, Host OS: Windows 10 64-Bit.
First of all, I'd like to know if my laptop could handle any virtual LINUX guest machine, and if yes, which distro would be the best oprion.
Would Lubuntu be a great idea, as it is a light distro?
Sorry for my bad English, I live in Greece. Thanks in advance.
Which Linux Guest Machine is the best option for my laptop?

Re: Which Linux Guest Machine is the best option for my lapt
There actually is no "best option" but Lubuntu would be a good choice since it is fairly low on resources. With only 4GB of RAM your guests would be limited to 1 to 1.5GBs of RAM for themselves.
OSX, Linux and Windows Hosts & Guests
There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.
