Oracle’s Virtual Box is one of the easiest to use virtual machines that run under Linux. Although we Linux users have reasons not to use Oracle’s products, the particular piece of software is maybe the best choice we can make in that area and at least it’s open source. If you want to use other free software alternatives to Oracle’s VM, you can check VMware Workstation, QEMU, or GNOME Boxes (currently works only on Fedora).
