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 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.
