I'm just using an HP Probook from like 7 years ago, I dont really know what wifi chipset it would have. Unfortunately I dont have access to my router (shared internet, I'm in a boarding school).

With virtual machines, what program am I best off using? I've used virtualbox for windows XP and whatnot in the past.

Also thank you for the link (what do they call the lemmy equivalents of subreddits? Communities?)!
