$10 for a GUI.

It wasn't originally their product. It came with the Sun Microsystems acquisition. Sun themselves acquired Virtualbox close to selling to Oracle. Sun never monetized their products well, hence their demise.
Sun and SGI were once profitable but once Linux gained traction it was over. They had no option to be assimilated by the Borg.

VirtualBox is cross-platform; runs on Linux, Mac, Windows. Images are portable. As a sibling notes, the Windows built-in is Hyper-V. Or if you don’t like your money, VMWare.
There's a free version of VMWare, though I don't know what features it lacks.
See the Compare tab at [0] for a complete list.
edit: Oh.. and if you meant VMware Workstation Player then see this list [1]

I was a big user of dual boot and VFIO, but thanks to the advent of Proton and the recent Wine improvements (DXVK, ...) I've found myself rebooting into Windows for gaming less and less over the course of the last few years. Sure, not everything works, but basically everything single player does with just a few hiccups.
Have you considered just not playing the games that require Windows? There are _plenty_ of really great Linux games. If not, I'd love to know why. I'm not being polemic, I'm not a gamer, but simply avoiding games that don't run on Linux seems rather easy today.

> And who would take their place moving Java forward? Dotnet - it's already ahead, and the existing software can stay in the current Java version. (I'm joking (but not really))
I do .NET and Java for 20 years now, there are so many workloads where .NET still doesn't matter at all. Why do you think Microsoft is now back in Java land with their own distribution, after everything that happened with Sun's lawsuit?
Because they have enough engineers to throw at any big environment where they can potentially expand in the future and having own distribution for an app layer lays foundations for new Azure services? (edit: checked after the response; first paragraph: "Java at Microsoft spans from Azure to Minecraft, across SQL Server to Visual Studio Code" - yeah, I think I got it)

This is a good hack, and it works better than a lot of alternatives, albeit Linux-on-Linux VMs have arguably few uses since systemd-nspawn exists (so you can just --bind the Pipewire socket in the VM)
I'd say that Docker has replaced more Linux-on-Linux VMs than has systemd-nspawn. That said, I'm seriously interested in what GP is doing that he's forwarding audio. Maybe testing desktop distros? Circumventing DRM? Multiseating an office with thinclients?
I am also curious about why GP needs audio in Linux VMs - I did similar tricks too but with Windows VMs, in order to pass-through my microphone to shoddy Windows-only corporate chat apps, but I never had the same necessity under Linux to be honest.
Can I run this without having a tainted kernel on Linux? So that Secure Boot can stay on.
What’s wrong with qemu/kvm?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
If you really need to, UTM (which uses qemu for x86). But if you just want to run x86 Windows software, it's much better to run that under a Windows 11 ARM64 VM.
UTM doesn't have vagrant support yet: https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues/12518 I basically just want to continue using vagrant, ansible, and ubuntu on my M1 -- what's currently the best stack for that? I tried out Parallels, but there don't seem to be any reputable and up-to-date Ubuntu images for it.
Oracle was responsible for my first complaint, while I was doing my first internship in the US. Because once I used my private laptop with the VirtualBox Extension Pack while connected to the work network. The incredible legal/licensing team got in touch because they identified this use. Since than I avoid Oracle like plague.
