Hello,

After 2 days of smashing my head to different walls, I managed to get to this point:

Successfully installed Oracle VirtualBox Manager.
Successfully installed Ubuntu from iso, but only after wasting an hour or more because I had to change a setting in BIOS: "intel virtual machine > disabled to enable"

Then I had to learn basic linux enviroment, which I never done before,

Successfully installed these dependencies/tools:

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install git
sudo apt-get install python3
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo apt-get install curl
sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce

Successfully downloaded Electrum, then ran it using

"python3 Electrum-3.3.8/run_electrum"

Ran a few tests, it works, it's all good, but I lost 2 days. Not complaining, I learned a few new things, tomorrow I will attempt to create the Standalone Executable for Windows. I would have been better off having someone with experience beside me to teach me a few things and I would have been glad to pay for that.
