Oracle was responsible for my first complaint, while I was doing my first internship in the US. Because once I used my private laptop with the VirtualBox Extension Pack while connected to the work network. The incredible legal/licensing team got in touch because they identified this use. Since than I avoid Oracle like plague.
Still by law firm ORACLE; this software thing is just a side business to extract licence fees out of companies that thought they could use this for free.
> Audio recording: Now using Vorbis as the default audio format for WebM containers. Opus is no longer being used.<p>That's... very surprising. Vorbis is usually regarded as obsolete in favor of Opus. Did they hit some obscure compatibility issue or what?
Has anyone had luck getting decent GUI performance (macOS host, Linux guest)? I don't need 3D, just sane 2D performance.<p>The last time I tried this, it was so bad that I had to drastically decrease the window size to get reasonable performance. As in, it would basically lock up above a certain window size, and no reasonable amount of waiting would get it to respond. (And yes, I fiddled with all of the obvious knobs for CPU/memory/graphics/etc.) I figure in this day and age of AWS and the like, we should have very, very good open source virtualization software, but no amount of fiddling seems to get it to work well for me.
Virtualbox 6.0 had PCI passthrough on Linux hosts. I was using it. Then I have updated to 6.1 to discover that they have removed it. I am afraid of going to 7 and see that other things are missing too :-)
What value does vm encryption have? I’d rather encrypt my host and leave my vms unencrypted, given it would be possible to back door virtual box binaries given an unencrypted file system, or keylog keys assuming a remote breach.
Is Windows Host and Guest performance any good now in version 7.0?<p>I used to use VirtualBox heavily about 15 years ago and it seemed to work well back then for Linux hosts and guests.<p>Since then I've used it sporadically, using it for Linux guests on Windows 7/8/10 as well as Windows XP and 7 on higher Windows.<p>A few days ago I tried to install Windows 10 guest (4cores/8GB RAM) on host Windows 10 host(32GB/6cores)<p>This was on VirtualBox 6.3 and the performance was really slow.<p>Installation took an hour - using same NVME Samsung 980Pro for official Microsoft windows.iso and installation.<p>After installation boot is slowish - a few minutes, and guest system feels like using an Atom processor not i7.
Does it support WSL2 inside VM? If you want to use it with USB 2.0 commercially: can you buy a single commercial license or do you still need to buy with "minimum order quantity: 100" for US$50.00 each[1]?<p>[1] <a href="https://shop.oracle.com/apex/f?p=dstore:product:2659572559436::NO:RP,6:P6_LPI,P6_PPI:114347640102492137513432" rel="nofollow">https://shop.oracle.com/apex/f?p=dstore:product:265957255943...</a>
Anyone have suggestion on how to run a Linux Window manager on ARM OSX? I’ve tried running the native x11 client and several virtual machines, and they all felt sluggish compared to native.<p>I guess I’ll eventually dual boot, but it would nice to have iMessage as an alt-tab.
