From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

To transfer image 1:1 from disk to VM?
Im sure there is a way (a quick search will probably give you your answer fairly quickly) ... or just try Clonezilla, that way you can also revert back. As per usual with OS I would advise make a clean install on a new machine & transfer the rest manually, ... however I'm lazy and wound definitely try to image copypasta the disk.
VMs as such aren't really any different from regular machines, it's just that you define virtual machine parts, well, virtually (like you can add disks, RAM, cores, etc as you wish).
