Thanks PS, I have been looking on VMwares forums with little help.After installing VirtualBox on a Windows 10 or 11 host machine you may notice that the guest VM machine is running very slowly for no apparent reason. Could that create problems giving more ram then Oracle recommends for config for these OS's? Come on Linux guru's I can't be the only one with these issues besides the previous post, HELP A NUBIE OUT PLEASE. I am using more ram and HD size than recommended. I like Linux and want to have confidence that it will be stable and run as advertised. I increased my page file size for all the good it did, and I disabled my NORD vpn just to test it. But I also tried TAILS, and it ran crappy too.

I am starting to think it's like the other guy said, that the virtualbox doesn't like Linux. They all run half ass slow, and give error messages constantly. I tried several flavors of linux including mint, Redhat, Knoppix and Ubuntu studio. I have a 2tb ssd with an Icore7 running Windows 10 64bit with 16gb ram. I tried to bump the ram up, and give them plenty of virtual HD space. Same thing with PClinux, and KALI sometimes hangs. I downloaded Utbuntu 20.04 and also have issues with hanging in VM virtualbox latest version.
