MacOS – Good Linux distribution for Macbook Air and VirtualBox

macbook promacosunixvirtualboxvirtualization

I have seen many Linux distributions tried to be used in Macbook Air, for instance.
One custom made of Redhat Linux is one successful port in VirtualBox but it is not public.
However, I would like to know how well other public Linux distributions work with Macbook Air in VirtualBox.

I am thinking these distros

  • Fedora Linux (Torvalds may use but dislike Gnome3)
  • Debian Linux (used by many of my Science friends)
  • OpenSUSE (rejected by Torvalds)

Which Linux distributions have adequate support for Macbook Air and VirtualBox?

Ubuntu or Mint are the distros I'd recommend. They're both well-supported. Also, don't pay much attention to Torvalds. The man has an opinion on everything, and he isn't always right... I mean, he made the Linux kernel into a Monolithic kernel, and that has its issues.
