Yes i want to create the vm but i need to use it with speak the way some of you use windows vas for gaming or what ever. Basically I need linux for 1 task and that’s it, but it requires interacting with the vm not using ssh to log into it. If i understand things right, in order to use virtual box I’d have to generate the vm and run it and could only use it with ssh. Am i wrong here? I was lead to believe i’d need vmware fusion to both set up and run the vm.
