Installation and configuration of virtual machine - Step 2

In the next dialog box, we set the size of RAM that will be available to the guest operating system. When determining the appropriate size, it is necessary to know the memory requirements of both the guest and host operating system to ensure that we do not set the guest operating system memory size too low and to ensure that after allocating memory for the guest operating system, there is enough memory left for the host system. Linux Mint memory requirements are 1 GB of RAM as a minimum, and at least 2 GB of RAM is recommended. If the physical operating memory size is sufficient, we can set more, but we should never get into the pink-red area of the scroll bar to leave enough memory for the host operating system to operate.
