Lightweight Linux Distros For VM- Virtual Machine | 8 Linux Operating Systems You Should Try In A VM
28In This Video We Are Discussing About “Lightweight Linux distribution terms” can be different from one to another. It’s all depends on whether he /she wants whether a Linux with GUI or CLI and how much system resource he/she can provide to their Virtual machine running Linux system. Here we are considering that you are a user of either Virtual Box, Vmware Player, or Hyper-V and looking for a Lightweight Linux distro with fewer resources consumption to run on VM (memory, CPU, and Hard disk). Also, if you are a user of Windows 10 or 11 then can consider WSL to start learning Linux.

Puppy Linux is one of the best Lightweight Linux that one can easily install on a Laptop or Desktop using a virtual machine (VirtualBox, Vmware, or Hyper-V).
2. Linux Lite
Another Lite version in Linux distros to run VM on Virtual Box/Vmware/Hyper-v is “Linux Lite“. With Windows 7 like interface, it makes the MS Windows users easily switch to this Linux operating system.
3. MX Linux
MX Linux is a relatively new distro but enough old and mid-light in weight to offer good performance even on Virtual machines with not high hardware resources allocation.
4. Lubuntu
LUbuntu is the official distribution from the Canonical developer team to provide lightweight Linux distribution with less RAM and space-consuming LXDE/LXQT desktop environment instead of regular Gnome.
5. TurnKey Linux Core- Virtual Appliance Library
I don’t know for what exactly you want a lightweight Linux distro, however, if you want to run some common server application such as web server, Database, MongoDB, File Server, OwnCloud, Game server, and more then try out the TurnKey Linux solution pre-built Linux Images for Virtual machines.
6. Arch Linux/Manjaro Linux
Arch Linux is another lightweight Linux distro working on the KISS principle that is Keep it Simple and Stupid. It is meant to offer minimal Linux distribution, however, those who want a Graphical user interface can go for its based Linux called Manajro Linux.
7. Bodhi Linux
Bodhi Linux is another lightweight Linux distribution to run on VM- Virtual machine. It is based on Ubuntu while the tablet version of Bodhi uses Debian as its core. However, the Tablet version is still in development. The developers made this Linux, to provide a minimal base system with popular software to manage day-to-day tasks.
8. Alpine Lightweight Linux- Best to run Docker
Are you looking for extremely lightweight Linux to run Docker containers? Then go for Alpine Linux. Earlier Docker Tools for Windows was also using Alpine Linux to run containers. It is based on BusyBox and musl, use APK as packages manager and users can install awesome, MATE, and Xfce desktop environments to get a graphical user interface
