If you're using virtualbox anyway, why not use whonix or a livecd of tails?

  Why would I use a livecd over a VirtualBox instance? Wouldn't that require me to restart?

    I mean booting the iso livecd in virtualbox.

      Ah. First, since I just said I run Linux in the instance, what would make you think I'm not doing that, and second, because I'm not doing that ;), it's because there's multiple purposes to having that VirtualBox Linux instance. For example, it came in handy when testing out obscure (or not) systemd features, such as how to boot into read-only root[1] without using a production system for testing when a bunch of people complain that it's a pain and a shortcoming of systemd. 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10213608 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10213608
