Easiest way to run Xubuntu?

Distrobuilder
4

Well I started digging into distrobuilder, then found an easier way (for me) as outlined by this video.

The gist:

  • create a new VM using the --empty flag
  • attach a bootable ISO
  • boot the machine and run the GUI installer
  • detach the ISO, reboot

My incus host is a remote machine on the lan. For me, the magic was to install Incus on the desktop, setup the incus remote, then incus start remotehost:myvm --console=vga. GUI performance is good!

I’m an incus newbie - for me this is a good starting point. I’ll learn distrobuilder in the future.
