    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…

      I’ve been out of the loop about Linux and I’ll be switching back to it this weekend. What’s the best way to run VMs on Linux now (that supports Wayland)?

    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.
