I am brand new to linux and I want to install linux mint and use Cinnamon. For a beginner is it better to install linux mint on an external hard drive or is it better to use virtualbox? I am completely new to Linux and have never worked with it before.
Any advice? Also, does anyone have a specific reconstruction for tutorials usinf Linux Mint? I am unsure what I want to use it for, I really want to work with Linux though. Thank you.

Use a VM. Much easier at least for now.
