Anyway, I've recently installed Ubuntu in VirtualBox, and I must say I am amazed at how well it works. I can run many programs, including Kdenlive, VLC Media Player, Audacity, DosBox and newer versions of GCC and CLANG, that fail to install on Oracle Linux. VLC Media Playes and Audacity work smoothly. Kdenlive sometimes causes the virtual machine to become unresponsive, and I need to reset it losing all my work, but being able to edit videos somehow is better than not being able to edit them at all (as it seems to be the case with Oracle Linux). It has also amazed my that my HP scanner works immediately with Ubuntu on a virtual machine, while I couldn't get it to work at all with Oracle Linux. And DosBox works a lot better under Ubuntu in VirtualBox than under Windows 10 in VirtualBox. I mean, sometimes it is apparently slow, but it doesn't crash the Guest OS it's run on top of in VirtualBox.
