Many Linux users now prefer Linux Mint, which ships with either the Cinnamon or MATE desktops-both are a bit more traditional than Ubuntu’s Unity desktop. Ubuntu strives to eliminate many of Linux’s rougher edges.
#How to use virtualbox to run linux mint 18.2 windows#
DistroWatch offers a good, in-depth summary of all the major Linux distributions you might want to try. Ubuntu is a fine place to start for former (or curious) Windows users. Ubuntu 12.10 64bit guest, runnning gnome-shell. I was able to eliminate most of these by setting Framebuffer object setting in "OpenGL" config plugin in CCSM to "off" dan:~ git:(master*) $ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p Mouse cursor seems to be acting sensibly too. I can confirm this is working, Windows 64-bit, Ubuntu 12.10 guest. The previous test was on a laptop and I suspect the reason for the really low FPS.Ĩ63 frames in 5.0 seconds = 172.209 LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 glxgearsĢ67 frames in 5.0 seconds = 53.376 host (Ubuntu glxgearsġ5385 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3076.994 FPSġ6759 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3351.217 FPSġ6304 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3260.731 FPSġ6704 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3340.675 just tested Fedora 18 and it has the same or close to same FPS as Ubuntu 12.10 Here is another test this time Ubuntu desktop.

I still need to test this in Fedora 18 but since that is not a release I have not been too concerned. All testing apps as well as glxgears work now on Ubuntu 12.10. To make sure that you have the latest updates released today to (public) /trunk seem to fix this issue.
