![]() ![]() I sometimes wonder if VMWare Fusion would be worth it, for the raw device support, etc., but I understand that it can be configured in VirtualBox, with patience and Terminal-fu. For free (I, too, was tired of the "subscription model" annual upgrade pleas/threats), I really have to try to find a problem with it. Parallels seems to virtualize Mac OS more smoothly. ![]() ![]() It works well with most Linuxes I throw at it (have had some issues with Linux Mint and video drivers). I triple boot on my MacBook, but may toss that for using virtualized PCs. Two-way clipboard support just works, and the granular control over the emulated hardware (how many cores, how much RAM, what size drive, etc.) makes it sweet for testing system parameters. It's not quite as nice to configure as Parallels, but once it's running it's fantastic. What can be said has mostly been said, but I'll chime in. Windows Guest Additions: Introduced general improvements in graphics drivers area.Linux Guest Additions: Introduced general improvements in the installer area.Linux Guest Additions: Fixed issue when vboxvideo module reloading caused kernel panic in some guests.Linux Guest Additions: Added initial support for kernel 6.4. ![]() Linux Guest Additions: Fixed issue when kernel modules were rebuilt on each boot when guest system has no X11 installed.Windows Host and Guest: Introduced ECDSA support.MacOS Host and Guest: Introduced general improvements in the installer area.Linux Host and Guest: Added initial support for RHEL 8.8, 8.9 and 9.3 kernels.Linux Host and Guest: Improved condition check when kernel modules need to be signed.Solaris Host: Introduced general improvements in the installer area.Linux Host: Added initial support for kernel 6.5 (NOTE: Guest Additions do not support kernel 6.5 yet).Linux Host: Added initial support for Indirect Branch Tracking.NAT: Adjusted UDP proxy timeout from 18-21 to 21-24 range to respect intended 20 second timeout.Audio: Also use the PulseAudio backend when pipewire-pulse is running instead of falling back to ALSA.This will effectively restore the behavior of former VirtualBox versions Guest Control/VBoxManage: Fixed behavior of how handling argument 0 for a started guest process works: One can now explicitly specify it with the newly added option "-arg0".Guest Control/VBoxManage: Fixed parameter "-ignore-orphaned-processes".3D: Fixed various graphics issues with Windows 11 guests.TPM: Fixed a crash when a VM has a TPM version 1.2 configured.VMM: Fixed a bug while walking page tables while executing nested VMs causing flooding of the release log as a consequence (Intel hosts only).VMM: Fixed sluggish performance starting with macOS Ventura 13.3.VirtualBox is a community effort backed by a dedicated company: everyone is encouraged to contribute while innotek ensures the product always meets professional quality criteria.
