You might have just heard about Kali Linux from a friend and learned how much it can achieve and wanted to give it a try without actually installing it in your hard disk alongside your primary OS (may that be Windows or Linux or MAC). Linux can be quite complicated sometimes specially you never used it before.

You are learning to bypass and overlook a problem with a easy way out. If you keep breaking things and keep rolling back for everything, you don’t really learn the Operating System itself. Running Kali Linux on VirtualBox is great as in that way all you need to do is take a snapshot and if you break sometime, you can quickly roll back. You could also try using VMware but as VMware is proprietary and VirtualBox is free to use, there’s no argument which way usual users would go. If you’re doing something you’re not sure, you want to install unknown packages, modify some code but don’t want to break your HOST OS, running and installing Kali Linux on VirtualBox is the best way to go. A lot of the users would like to do crazy stuffs with their Kali Linux.
