I'm running Debian boxes 100% of the time on VirtualBox since 4 years. I run macOS, but only as a host, I spend about 95% of my time within Debian boxes.
Never had a problem that Debian didn't run 'out of the box' within VirtualBox. Wouldn't even know what that entails.
- JdeBP 9y agoOne thing that it entails is that the kernels available in Debian 8 backports are not compatible with the VirtualBox guest tools for Debian 8 that are published by Oracle. So one has to make the choice on Debian 8 between a kernel that supports version 2 control groups and having VirtualBox device drivers for things like the display.
- stephenr 9y agoIsn't that a problem for the VirtualBox team to solve - effectively, supporting newer kernels?
