I want to try out a small contribution to the JDK and want to build the JDK first. I have a Windows 11 laptop.
I am not comfortable with the Windows commands and someone mentioned in this forum that most of the building is done on Linux. So I installed VirtualBox 7.0.18 and Ubuntu 24.04. however I was getting black screens and freezing. I downgraded the Ubuntu to 222.04 and still got black screens. I don't know why this is happening. Any advice appreciated.
