You got some great answers already :)

Let me just add that, in general, it’s expected to have executable files inside your home directory.

For example, ~/.local/bin is intended for user executables and usually added to the $PATH, and a lot of package managers (such as cargo, go, pip,…) will install applications under ~ (Steam also does that).

Why do people think we care why they decided this or that? (same goes for people who switch to linux, or upgrade their gear, or whatever)

What’s crashing? the Linux host? Virtualbox? the windows guest?

(personally I won’t be able to help you, but other people might)

Isn’t the purpose getting views on youtube?

Yeah… people should rewrite post titles for the context of this community, rather than reusing article titles verbatim
