Thanks David for your feedback. Sounds like you are suggesting they dual
boot using a USB. Cool idea. I was teaching how to configure VirtualBox with
a Ubuntu LAMP stack using PHP-FPM so they would have a development and
testing environment.
I'm a freelancer so having a dev environment is important to me, as I would
expect it would be for most everyone.
I watched a video a few years ago where one of the two people in the video
stated having LAMP skills for a PHP dev was unique and was valuable.
a bootable USB can be your dev environment, especially if it's run on an old
computer/laptop that's too old for win10/11
the instructions to setup a LAMP stack from scratch, when you are new to linux
(new to the command line) and don't yet know the value of it are daunting, it's
a learning cliff that they have to climb before they can do anything else.
If they can start with a usable system and only dive in to the details of LAMP
after they learn that they can do this and see the results, it will be much
easier to get people started.

I have 57 youtube videos that were supposed to be part of a PHP Learning

PHP are adverse to leaning how to setup VirtuualBox to create a LAMP
testing environment. So I have changed course.
I would suggest a bootable USB stick as a starting point, something that
doesn't require that they change their main system (ideally storing the
work you are doing on their main drive)
