From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net No, not really. I actually use Mint on a seperate machine for programs that don’t work on Windows ^^;
I've enjoyed seeing some of these blasts from the past, but I admit it's not as nice when the VM host window is captured as well. Just something to consider... I appreciate it all the same.
@thayer@lemmy.ca
@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net I’ll do the screenshots without the windows stuff then ^^;
You can just cut the window border, to show the content of the VM. Doesn't VirtualBox have a screenshot functionality for that? So you don't need to edit the image or try to select with a border to capture the area. I used VirtualBox in the past (now on something better ;-) Quemu+Kvm+virt-manager), but totally forgot if it has this function at all.
Haha no problem :)
Checkout Virt-Manager on Linux.
