I want to test run Arch Linux in a virtual machine, but don't know which hypervisor to choose. Is Virtual Box, or VMware the better Windows hypervisor for running Arch Linux?

EDIT: I decided to go with Virtual Box since Hyper-V just doesn’t seem to work on my PC. Thank you everyone for the recommendations!

Seems like HyperV is the obvious answer, but last I knew that was a Windows Pro and up feature. Virtual Box is a fine tool as an alternative.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
