    Virtual box is slow and buggy and it probably will always be that way. It is simply the nature of its design.

      Odd, since in my experience, it’s the most consistently reliable, performant, and easy to setup / use desktop vm package I’ve used. It always seems to “just work” when others don’t

          I guess that depends on what we are using it for. I use it for CAD / CAM software that only works in Windows (Vectric Aspire). Nothing else has been able to give me 3d previews with any kind of usable performance.

            Virtualbox is not a type I hypervisor. You will get better performance in KVM. Just enable GPU acceleration.

            If it is working for great but its lacking many features and isn’t native.

              I’ve never been able to get GPU acceleration working in qemu/kvm. That’s also why the “just works” aspect of virtual box is important.
