Exactly. It’s optional… as long as ypu don’t plan on using internet.

Germany and being on the side of genocide, iconic duo.

For me, I’m not “cheering” for 100 dead people, but for the weakening of the agressor’s army. It sucks so much that it is by death, but that is war… war sucks and shouldn’t happen, but here we are.

Another option is VMware Workstation/Fusion now that it is free again, or Virtual Box by Oracle.

Oh, it is again? Thanks for letting me know! Edit: nvm an account is needed, bleh

That is what I did for a while. A Debian VM with 2 CPUs MD 8Gb of ram to start playing around with Docker before getting a Pi.

Will try this out, then, thank you for the advice! Since I got my PC on ethernet, but still got a network card with WiFi that I don’t really use for anything, I could set it up so the Wifi card acts as part of the VM as a different computer in the network, instead of having to configure the same connection both for my PC and the VM, right?
