Start with a basic install of Fedora 26 workstation.

Was thinking Fedora as recommended by @DustinB3403.
Right now I have Windows 10 Pro, was trying to test in Oracle Virtual Box but with many failed attempts: wouldn't reboot, was constantly running slow and freezing, install wouldnt complete, and I am really tired of fighting with it.
Want to try KVM to test Unifi Controller,
Can anybody point me in the right direction or provide a walk through?
Thanksum WTF?
You have windows 10, jsut enabled Hyper-V role and build your VM's. -
KVM has nothing to do with running a UniFi controller. That just goes in an Ubuntu VM.

You have windows 10, jsut enabled Hyper-V role and build your VM's.This I said was an option, using hyper-v. I don't see the point in not learning a different system though as he's getting into IT.
Hence the choices of hyperv, kvm, xen

Yeah, the issue was specifically something with vbox and the VMs was working with, he's new and learning.
-
I agree that Hyper-V likely makes the most sense here. Especially as dual booting was mentioned which will be a huge pain and distraction.
-
An issue that may come up is I don't believe he has admin access to install roles.
He might, but not from what I saw.

The stated goal is learning Unifi. Do that without mixing in unrelated solutions.

Yet he can be allowed to add an completely uncontrolled OS on his desktop?
Not in any shop I control.

And you don't control it, grumpy old man.

The point is that whoever is in charge of his PC should never allow this.

But does have access to reinstall the OS? That would be weird.

He told me he did reinstall Windows 10. So not weird as he has some access.
Ffs ... topic derail here..

Apparently i dont have enough space for a fedora dual boot.. @JaredBusch do you have a walkthrough on how to use hyper-v?
I believe i have full admin rights of this device, @Dashrender would be able to tell me differently seeing how i bought this computer from him and installed Windows 10.

You just "install the Hyper-V role" under roles.

Derailed maybe, but only because it was all going the wrong way in the first place.
If the user cannot add a local role to his desktop, then trying to go around it by adding an operating system that the IT department is not going to have any control over (yes, an assumption) sounds like a good idea to who?
Since this is for obviously personal learning, spend $2.50 and spin up an Ubuntu VM on Vultr, or do it on your home machine.
If it is not for personal learning, then take the entire thing back to your boss and tell them you need Hyper-V added to your desktop.

He couldn't open device manager, he doesn't have access to install roles.

Roles are not under device manager.

/sigh - this is a home machine - if he doesn't have admin, it's because he forgot the password.
