VirtualBox
[VirtualBox] let’s you run guest machines. I need to run an old version of Ubuntu and VirtualBox didn’t require me to reboot and turn on the virtualization settings.

Setup:
Intall VirtualBox Guest Add-ons:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms
sudo apt-get remove libcheese-gtk23
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-x11
sudo apt-get install autofs

(Projects that use CMake) Build with CMake for 32-bit and 64-bit
To compile binaries with CMake 3.13 or newer, run the following commands:
