Important Note -> Don't Lose Your Data: If you install like this, after you restart the VM, you will lose all of your data, because the OS is installed in the temporary environment. Step-by-step Solution: 1 - After seeing the desktop, run the "Install Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS" application, which is located on top of your Home folder. 2 - Follow the setup process as usual and customize the OS as you wish, including language preferences, etc. I suggest continuing with the automatic driver installation option. 3 - After the setup process is completed, the OS will restart itself, showing a black screen with an error message, and it will ask to press a button to continue. Don't do anything here. 4 - From the VMware Fusion top menu, go to "Virtual Machine" -> "Shut Down". 5 - From the VMware Fusion top menu, navigate to "Virtual Machine" -> "Settings" -> "CD/DVD (SATA)" -> Uncheck "Connect CD/DVD Drive". (Think of it as the same logic used when installing Windows through USB, as if you are changing BIOS settings back to the hard drive). 6 - Start the VM and install OpenGL by following the video instructions. Now, the OS is installed on permanent storage. Bonus Performance Tip 7 - After install OpenGL, go to VMware Fusion top menu, go to "Virtual Machine" -> "Settings" -> "Display" -> Enable Accelerate 3D Graphics & Use full resolution for Retina display. Now it's smooth as butter. Enjoy :)
Cheers! It's incredibly useful to test out with different capabilities as well (e.g. low RAM) as well as the platform. I also utilize github actions to spin up different VM's on occasion.
@@mansimrangill8077 It’s very useable. I’m running Windows 11 for ARM via Parallels on my M2 Air with Visual Studio 2022 inside it and for small to medium sized C++ solution sizes it’s very usable.
HI! I use it for win11 on a macbook air but in full screen mode it is not limited to win and it gives me bar menu / macos doc. is there a solution for this? thanks !
Hi, thanks for your video. I would like to ask 3:25, since my class is specified a ubuntu amd based image for us. Is there any way that I can install ubuntu amd based image on Mac m1? Or I can only use ubuntu arm iso file instead? Thanks!
That's a good question -- probably best asked to your instructor if they have a solution. QEMU or UTM might be other emulators that make this possible if VMWare does not.
On Apple Silicon M2, VMWare 13.5, can you install any of the included versions of Linux like Debian 12 arm 64 or Debian 11 arm 64? When I create these VMs they don't run, "Attempting to start from ...No Media it fails and presents four EFI boot options - what are you supposed to do?
I haven't tried with debian unfortunately. A quick google for 'vmware fusion and debian' shows a few guides showing this is possible (perhaps using different versions of both VMWare and debian)
Hi, how long should it take after dragging the iso into the thing at 3:32 for it to continue onto the next step? For me it's kind of stuck at this step with a loading circle next to the image.
Looks like it's possible, need to enable keymappings according to this: docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Fusion/13/com.vmware.fusion.using.doc/GUID-E6C39F39-178D-49E6-BF9C-FA2F5F8D27F3.html
My machine is 6 years old and well traveled. Battery has also held up as well. Very happy with their support as well, and will buy another machine when it's time.
@@MikeShah one question! Every time I shutdown any VM, all my changes are lost, and I get send back to install the OS. Is there any fix for this? All the fixes I see are for the Windows app version
Hmm, usually there is a way to 'save state' when shutting down, perhaps do a few queries on 'saving state in vmware fusion' and see if that gives any good leads.@@davidalejandrobejaranobazan
Ubuntu is the most usable Linux distribution available, but that doesn't say much. BSD is way better than Linux and is free and open source, but it's not as popular.

ניסיתי להוריד לינקוס כבר שבוע ,ולא הצלחתי,ואז מצאתי אותך,ובזכותך הצלחתי ,תודה רבה!!!
You are most welcome! Enjoy!
great vid G, got a new m1 max and uni starts in 3 weeks so getting ready for that.
Cheers ! VMWare Fusion just worked for virtualization with no (observed) problems which was nice!
님덕분에 하루종일 고민하던거 해결되었음.. 감사드립니다
Cheers!
You just made me regret the last 2 nights I spent solving this issue. Thank you soooooo much!

Hello Mike,
Thank you so much for helping me to install the VM in a simple and easy way.
You are most welcome!
Super useful Mike. I have a M2 Air and run Linux in a VM on it for platform independent development studies.

Can somebody help me please! I cant seem to find the ARM arquitecture in Ubuntu, I only find the Server but not the Desktop. Help

@@MikeShah How do I enable saving? For some reason when I poewr on and power off the virtual machine it doesn't save any files or progress.

idk, I get this white screen when I try to install Ubuntu from this try out stage.
I have download the jammy desktop 5 times. each time when i try to install it, i get error message that it is the wrong version.
Hmm, could try some different versions, maybe something with the Mac version you're using?
@@MikeShah I have tried 5 different flavors. I just can't get the right version yet. Maybe??
What is your overall impression of System76 hardware?
My machine is 6 years old and well traveled. Battery has also held up as well. Very happy with their support as well, and will buy another machine when it's time.
The ubuntu 23.10 asks for a username and password even though I didn't create one, could you please look into it? :)
Your guess is as good as mine, make sure you have the correct image of ubuntu: cdimage.ubuntu.com/jammy/daily-live/current/
Thanks

I really enjoy linux, perhaps I should try out BSD (I can probably load it up on VM to start 😀)
this tutorial is not very useful for M1. how do you get the tools working, how do share files between host os etc.
Thanks for the feedback, here's from the knowledge database: kb.vmware.com/s/article/1004055
Thank you sir. For me, it was the AMD that have been causing my nightmares. 🫡 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Glad it's resolved!
