Describe your suggestion
It probably would not hurt to specify that the default browser that Xubuntu comes with is Firefox, a fully functional browser that they can use to open and see the lesson without problems. It could also be a good idea to add a small reminder in the Google Chrome Installation section for VM users to let them know that they should follow the next steps (and the rest of the curriculum) inside their virtual machine.
I know that recently a similar PR https://github.com/TheOdinProject/curriculum/pull/28356 was merged addressing the last thing I mentioned, and there shouldn't be any problems if all the steps are followed thoroughly, but with the installation being so lengthy, I wouldn't be surprised if many learners skipped/skimmed some steps or just forget about it.

@TheOdinProject/installations do you have any thoughts on this please?
This issue is stale because it has had no activity for the last 30 days.
@xandora Would you mind taking a look at this one.

Thanks for the suggestion. Going to close this as we already mention about the default web browser and about working in the VM only twice, including a large warning note box. So if a user rushes through a lesson, that's not something we can do much about (and people will always forget a few things anyway, again not something we can account for in every case).
