Looking back at my notes I used Oracle VirtualBox. It worked fine. But I don't know if its the best. My teacher just recommended it.

Oh thank you.
Will check it out.
I hope it is easy enough for me to understand ha.
I gotta say, when I was working with this stuff it was kind of frustrating at first because its so unfamiliar. But once I made several mistakes and fixed them I had a lot more confidence! So don't be afraid of making mistakes, that's how you learn. I even helped other classmates with mistakes I didn't know you could make 😂
Oh thank you.
Linux is a new territory for me. I am a bit worried. I hope I won't break my only computer down by messing things up 😅
Always have back ups! Do you have time machine set up? I personally keep all important files on a harddrive. So if I need to reboot my computer I'm not worried.
But so far I have not needed to do that. If it's REALLY that bad, you can take your computer to an Apple store and they can redownload the whole OS.
If you are following tutorials and doing your own research I don't think you'll have severe problems. Just don't delete things you're not sure about.
The reason I suggested a VM is because its fairly easy to set up, and you can get familiar with the interface. Hopefully giving you the confidence and motivation. And when you are ready you can buy a whole machine just dedicated to Linux.
