What's the easiest way nowadays to run some flavor of a Linux desktop in a virtual machine on a Mac nowadays?

Tried Ubuntu + VirtualBox unattended install, it's been running for hours with a broken screen, no feedback on progress. Far from amazing experience.

I really don't care what Linux it is, as long as I can boot it up quickly in a VM and install some desktop software.

It's weird how some things just stay with you. My first exposure to mainframes was VM/CMS back in the mid-80s at IBM. Back then, the command to clear the screen was 'CLS'. I must have typed that hundreds of times over the years. Now I always add CLS as an alias for 'Clear' on my ZSH profile on macOS. As I say, weird.

I'm at the absolute end of my comprehension of Wireguard and WG-Easy. I, for the love of anything, CANNOT get my VPN to stay connected for more than 3 minutes. I have tried connecting via direct Public IP, my Domain with A Certs, PersistentKeepalive, changing/removing UFW/Firewall, hosting on bare metal, LXC, VM. I am at a complete loss and simply do not understand this anymore. If anyone has any ideas, please send them my way. #proxmox #selfhosting #vpn #lxc #vm #wireguard
