It might be better to steer clear of VirtualBox and other Oracle products because of the licensing issues: <a href="https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/10/04/oracle_virtualbox_merula/" rel="nofollow">https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/10/04/oracle_virtualbox_m...</a><p>If you only use the open source parts you're okay, but it's a bit scary.
I used to use virtualbox but I became afraid of being trolled by Oracle using gradually changing license terms a few years back and stopped updating.<p>I'm curious if anyone knows of a table summarizing these products and what their licensing would mean for a laptop you may take to work, etc?
On Linux, I’ve entirely replaced Vbox with virt-manager and QEMU.<p>As a bonus, virt-manager can connect to remote libvirt/QEMU instanced over SSH, making it easier to manage a small “farm”.<p>On Windows I find myself happy enough with Hyper-V too.<p>I really don’t miss virtualbox at all.
As a (part time) qemu developer, why do you think VirtualBox is preferable, eg. what are the feature gaps that qemu doesn't provide, or what could qemu do better? (And by "qemu" I include the broader free ecosystem like virt-install, virt-manager, etc)
FEAT>> Nested virtualization on intel. This is a big deal, for dev and testing. Congrats to the devs, thank you. You can now run a hypervisor hosting real vms at decent speeds inside VB.
Is it allowed by Apple to set up a macOS version N virtualbox guest on macOS version N host?<p>Because I'm trying and I can't imagine how their OS could be more hostile toward me doing it...
What are the highlights of the new versions?<p>Also<p>>Linux host: Drop PCI passthrough, the current code is too incomplete (cannot handle PCIe devices at all), i.e. not useful enough<p>does this affect usb drives and devices?
