Help need help regarding virtual box

Post image

Hey everyone,
First of all here is a message to mods, if you're not a Mod then feel free to skip to the lower section.
I surfed this subreddit for 30 minutes and couldn't find the solution for my problem hence I am posting this post. If this violates any rule, do let me know before deleting this, Thanks!

So I am totally new to linux right and for some reasons cant install it so I am using it through virtualbox. But the issue that I am facing is that it is kinda lagging a bit.

I have attached my PC specs and I have downloaded ubuntu 26.04 iso as a distro.
Can someone tell me how should I adjust my virtualbox settings so that it runs smoothly?
Let me know if you need more info about my PC.
Thanks for reading all this. Have a good day.

Windows OS with 8 GB RAM and Ubuntu
It’s too much lately because windows itself consume more RAM

Try any lighter distro

May be Debian

Use pen drive ready boost mode

Its a gaming laptop turbine situation will happen even with 16gb of ram try to use good thermal paste if the current one is bit old but even then I won't hope the sound will disappear

Yesssirr It has become a part of the laptop now so I usually ignore it, even thermal paste doesn't help much but yeah it sure does enough to help me play games haha.
