A while ago, Jilles found out why not to use VirtualBox: [Wayback/Archive] Jilles🏳️🌈 on Twitter: “@jpluimers Ik wil op basis van wat de Arch community schreeuwt; “Virtualbox is stom, als je geen hyper-v gebruikt vraag je om problemen”, HYPER-V maar gaan proberen.” / Twitter
The biggest problem is that VirtualBox seems to be developed ant tested for the happy path, not the failing path.
Which means that when you use it for less common scenarios, it will often fail in mysterious ways.
Back in Running ArchiveTeam Warrior version 3.2 on ESXi, I already mentioned this:
Totally agreeing with Kristian Kohntopp, I do not understand why people use VirtualBox at all: I just run in too much issues like [Archive.is] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “Hint: Wenn die Installation einer Linux-Distro in Virtualbox mit wechselnden, unbekannten Fehlern scheitert, hilft es, stattdessen einmal VMware Workstation oder kvm zu probieren. In meinem Fall hat es dann *jedes* *einzelne* *Mal* mit *demselben* Iso geklappt.”.
