(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I have seen that the guides say Ubuntu Linux is required in a virtual box or otherwise, but will Linux Mint ( Based off Ubuntu) work?

I am fine if it doesn't because I am dual-booting and can easily set up a virtual box. Just want to save as much time as I can though.

No it doesn´t. I also have a dual boot, but it´s no advantage for you, since you have to run both OS´ at the same time. Oh and by the way you don´t even need the tux..

I do have 2 pcs though.
