    It’s 2023 and it’s been pretty much a decade since I’ve stopped understanding why people use VirtualBox on Linux.

      I use a virtualbox vm for work. Linux desktop runs a windows VM with Windows 10 and all my work stuff on it. I love it, its been very reliable. Its mostly simple though, it doesn’t need to be super speedy, just needs to house my orgs mandatory vpn and av so I can connect to my work stuff.

        Pretty sure something built into the kernel, used by all major cloud providers is gonna be more reliable than some dodgy DKMS driver…

        @MrShelbySan @wildbus8979 You pretty much always want to be using KVM. QEmu, VMM, VirtualBox, Gnome Boxes, and some other apps all support it. The rest is just down to what app/tools you prefer.

        I assume all the “real Linux pros” are using qemu, which is a real pita if you want to do anything beyond creating a basic VM.

            Well, I guess I’ll eat my words. This is much better than the last time I messed around with it.

          GNOME Boxes is actually simpler than Virtualbox, in my opinion, with all the options you’ll need. It even lets you install a variety of ISOs straight from the interface, without needing to go out to the web. Of course, if you’re installing Windows, you need to supply your own ISO file.

          Virt-Manager can be unintuitive but it’s plenty capable.

    I recently ported my windoze 10 vm to kvm/virt-manager from virtualbox and don’t intend to go back. I used to use virtualbox because it was easy to deal with, but that advantage has all but disappeared.

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.
