From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I also hate Virtual box and prefer QEMU. Not sure why people don't give you the freedom to use either.
Who is preventing the freedom to use either?
The university didn't over an Image for qemu
Ah, understood.
They gave it to me but had no premade disk image which for some reason was the only way to get this to work
