I am trying to download a linux on windows but I couldn't find a site. I tried to download from Oracle VM but I couldn't make it work. I need help.
Thanks
Thanks
... or do you want to emulate Linux under Windows (if this is possible?)?.Scott said:Are you trying to set up a dual-boot system?

As far as I know there are two ways to have your computer running on linux and something else (e.g. MacOS or Windows): dual boot or virtual machine. The first one has been pointed out by Scott above and it requires you to partition your harddisk. In this method both OS's exist on the same level. In the second method you will need to have the host OS installed first, in this case the host OS will be Windows, which indeed has been installed as you said. Then install the interface, which is called virtual machine (basically just another software) before you can introduce linux through the VM. In the second method, when you start linux through VM it is as if linux is a software which can be opened from inside the host OS. I never really tried both method but I guess the downside of using VM is that you cannot run on linux without starting the host first, your RAM will be consumed by both OS at the same time. As for dual boot, you can choose during booting process which OS you want to start and hence (probably) the RAM will only be allocated for the chosen OS. On the other hand, partitioning hdd requires knowledge beyond install-type process. But actually both methods gain the same popularity, I am sure you can easily find lots of tutorials on both from Google.Arman777 said:Theres something called virtual box I guess but I didnt understand it.
Nope, it does not. Python code is highly portable across platforms.Arman777 said:Hmm well I guess its bettter to use nothing at all and work on Pyhton in Windows. Is it makes a big difference where I use pyhton ?

I agree. What the OP is trying to do seems to me to be a massive waste of effort.kaustubhb said:Nope, it does not. Python code is highly portable across platforms.
I just thought If there was an easy way to use it, I could have try, but seems its more complex then I thought.Mark44 said:I agree. What the OP is trying to do seems to me to be a massive waste of effort.
Download the Python executable for Windows, for working at home, and use the Python installation at school (running under Linux). Your python files are just text, so they don't "care" whether they are interpreted by either version of Python.
BTW, the language is Python, not Pyhton. It's spelled just like the snake...
It works nicely but when I close the system and re-open it it losts its storage so I have to restart it everytime. Why it happens ?
S_David said:Yes, you needed to download the 32-bit version. I think it is slow because it shares resources with the host (Windows in your case), as you run both at the same time, one inside the other.
Could you explain more?
Isnt that the problem ? I am terrible at computer language sorry.S_David said:You must remove the .iso image from storage after finishing installation, to boot from the hard drive. Remove the image from storage and launch the operating system.
Its not working that way..Maybe its because I am always choosing the try ubuntu instead of install ubuntu ?S_David said:The storage should be empty. Go to setting->system, and make sure the Hard Disk in the Boot Order box is checked, and make it the first one in the list. See what happens.
Lol I am stupid. Okay thanks :)S_David said:Oh, you need to install it, yes. Try it is just to see how it looks like BEFORE you make the commitment to install it.
Its working perfectly and My computer looks fine so everything is okay :) Thanks a lot for your help.S_David said:I believe these steps are explained in detail in the video I mentioned before. Press continue, but please refer to the video I mentioned before to complete the process.
Just to mention, If you are running Windows 10, it comes with a built in Linux subsystem that you can turn on very easily. I've been using it for over a year to compile Python and C++ code with no problems.Arman777 said:I just thought If there was an easy way to use it, I could have try, but seems its more complex then I thought.
That looks like worth checking out.NFuller said:If you are running Windows 10, it comes with a built in Linux subsystem that you can turn on very easily. I've been using it for over a year to compile Python and C++ code with no problems.
