So I just tried to download Virtualbox and install it from here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

I have no idea which one do I pick. I downloaded Ubuntu 16.10. but the installation just didn't work.

If you are running Zorin 12 it should be one for 16.04 ;)

I have yet to get 12 installed as having some major issues with Etcher! :o

Yes, running Zorin 12 and just installed 16.04. Thank you, it worked.

Edit: Well actually, there's an error now. Here is what I get.
