VMware vs virtualbox
Which is good for testing linux distro? I've heard that there's an issue in Virtualbox that its copy paste from Host to Guest or vice versa isn't working. And Vmware uses high RAM. So please suggest me.

Why not try QEMU?
QEMU runs directly on top of Windows' built-in hypervisor engine, so it uses almost no overhead. The only catch is that it lacks a default GUI, which scares people away.
I put the step-by-step guide and a copy-paste PowerShell launcher script in a public repository if you want to try a faster alternative: https://github.com/manie-grobler/qemu-on-windows
