Spin up a Linux box in macOS and ssh into it directly. It is a true joy if you are comfortable working with text files (programming, admin, focused writing, etc.)
It will default to using VirtualBox as the underlying virtualization. That works a treat and hides all the GUI madness of VirtualBox.
However, if you open up VirtualBox then you can interact with the host you just created with “vagrant up” just fine, including using a graphical environment.

- 3pt14159 6y agoPersonally I prefer VMWare Fusion for linux visualization. There are a number of tweaks that it comes with and I never really feel like anything is impossible. It may be poorly documented at times (custom networking, say) but it's all possible and it handles retina really well.
