Bootcamp is a simple and easy-to-use virtual machine manager that allows you to run multiple operating systems on your computer simultaneously. If you're using POP! OS and want to install Bootcamp, this tutorial will guide you through the process.
Before we begin, make sure you have satisfied the following requirements:
Open a web browser and go to https://trybootcamp.vitorfs.com/. Click the "Download" button to download the Bootcamp AppImage file.
Alternatively, you can also download Bootcamp from its GitHub page at https://github.com/vitorfs/bootcamp/releases. Click the latest release and download the "bootcamp-x.x.x.AppImage" file.
Once you have downloaded the Bootcamp AppImage file, open the terminal and navigate to the directory where the file is located.
cd /path/to/bootcamp
Next, make the file executable using the following command:
chmod +x bootcamp-*.AppImage
To start Bootcamp, simply execute the AppImage file.
./bootcamp-*.AppImage
When prompted to confirm that you trust the source of the file, click "Yes" to continue.
Once Bootcamp is open, click the "+ New VM" button to create a new virtual machine. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the virtual machine according to your requirements.
Once you have set up the virtual machine, you can now install an operating system of your choice. Insert the installation media (such as a USB drive or DVD) into your computer and follow the on-screen instructions to install the operating system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Bootcamp on POP! OS and set up a new virtual machine. Now you can run multiple operating systems on your computer simultaneously.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
