<font face="Calibri">As mentioned by another reply, WSL2 is best to
use. Note that you have to have Windows 10 ver. 2004 for a WSL2
installation.<br>
Here are a couple links I found helpful. Microsoft's documentation
is very good.<br>

<br>
</font>I also read along the way that if you are using another
Hypervisor (such as Virtualbox) on the same machine that there may
be some "hiccups". WSL uses Windows built-in Virtual Machine
architecture since WSL is essentially a VM running a Linux distro
(and you can run multiple distros under WSL, such as Suse, Ubuntu,
Redhat, etc).<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>

<div>Thanks. My more recent
attempts seemed to be leaning towards WSL 2, though the
other looked like a much simpler approach. I hope I don’t
have a dozen copies of "Ubuntu 20.04 LTS” cluttering
together …
