Virtualbox window too small

Anyway, my laptop is an HP Elitebook 8470p meaning it has a screen resolution of 1366x768. If you want to know anything else, let me know. So, I’m not sure what stats might be helpful to share in terms of my setup, but I’ll share some stats I think would be relevant. (I should add here that I tried resizing the Offline/Online choice window first, but I couldn’t resize it.)

I found the solution to this was to click on “Change display resolution” in the Welcome app, and choose something bigger than my physical screen size, allowing me to scroll. So, basically I see that I can choose between Offline and Online install, but I then can’t actually see or click on either button as the taskbar is covering it up. But, when I click on “Start the installer”, the bottom part of the screen that pops up gets covered up by the taskbar. Upon creation of the guest VM and first bootup into the x86_64 ISO, I’m presented with the Welcome app. I’m in the middle of installing EndeavourOS, but I’ve encountered what looks like a bug. Anyway, I have a Windows 10 host and I use VirtualBox to install various *nix distro/OS guests. I’ve always wanted to play around with and Arch distro, but never had the courage to do so until I came across EndeavourOS on Distro Watch.

Hi all, I’m new to EndeavourOS and Arch Linux in general.
