What? Is there some new controversy going on ?

Oh, people recommend VirtualBox all the time and it's awful.

Ah well, I've used Virtualbox, Vmware and KVM and I found them all useful for my purposes. Vmware is very slick and has an edge on easy Gfx acceleration for Windows guests but since they're now owned by Broadcom that might become a problem.

I'm happy with Virtualbox on my desktop and KVM on a few servers. I don't really care to take sides.

What's awful about it? Genuinely asking

Performance compared to KVM is really poor. And it handles graphics poorly.

I've tried QEMU for this, I'll try KVM one of these days
