You will, however, be able to run ARM-based Linux installations in macOS Venture that can themselves run x86 processors using Rosetta, Apple's own translation layer.īeyond that bright caution signage, Mac clients, on both Intel and ARM, have now dropped all Kernel extensions, relying entirely on Apple's hypervisor and vmnet frameworks for their function. The License to VirtualBox was relicensed to GPLv3 with linking exceptions to the CDDL and other GPL-incompatible licenses.It's still true that ARM-based Macs don't allow for running operating systems written for Intel or AMD-based processors inside virtual machines. Released under the terms of the GNU General Public License and, optionally, the CDDL for most files of the source distribution, VirtualBox is free and open-source software, though the Extension Pack is proprietary software, free of charge only to personal users. For some guest operating systems, a 'Guest Additions' package of device drivers and system applications is available, which typically improves performance, especially that of graphics, and allows changing the resolution of the guest OS automatically when the window of the virtual machine on the host OS is resized.

It supports the creation and management of guest virtual machines running Windows, Linux, BSD, OS/2, Solaris, Haiku, and OSx86, as well as limited virtualization of macOS guests on Apple hardware.

There are also ports to FreeBSD and Genode. VirtualBox may be installed on Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, Solaris and OpenSolaris.
