I realized that I desperately needed to backtrack. I was just about halfway through completing this objective when the programs inside my VM began to crash and commands began to fail. In fact, I nearly threw my computer out the window trying to do this. While this process may seem straight forward at a glance, it is actually quite complicated. The purpose of this blog is to walk through all of the steps associated with this process. Today, we are going to be creating a Linux VM in OCI and then installing a GUI in the VM that we will be able to access using NoMachine.
