The virtualization options are one of the most functional ways that we have to know all the news of each operating system that is launched or of new applications, this in order that if something were to fail it is not directly in a productive environment because the errors can be critical.
Among the various options to create a virtual environment we have VMware which is one of the most complete, robust and with the best functions for use, VMware can be downloaded at the following link:
VMware
With Vmware we will be able to virtualize in a complete way thanks to its list of complete functions that makes an easy integration between virtual machine and physical hardware. By creating a virtual environment, we will be able to test tester versions of different software thus avoiding possible problems in the equipment due to failures. TechnoWikis will explain in detail how to install Ubuntu 21.04 in VMware and thus be able to know its news and features before the others. The Ubuntu 21.04 ISO image is available for download at the following link:
