Can you install a virtual machine on a Chromebook?

Once Linux is enabled on your Chromebook getting up and running with Visual Studio Code is beyond simple.

Visual Studio Code is a lightweight editor, so you will be able to run it on low-powered Chromebooks , with a minimum of 1 GB of RAM. In addition, VS Code is now available for Linux on ARMv7 and ARM64, which means that you can run it on Chromebooks powered by an ARM chip as well!

Getting VirtualBox on your Chromebook is straightforward and uncomplicated. However, not every Chromebook can handle this software , so be sure your internals are packing some good punching power. Additionally, you’ll be needing the help of the Linux OS in your Chromebook, so have that at the ready as well.
