- numpad0 3y agoIt was required (at least used to) to use USB2.0/3.0, RDP compatibility, PCIe passthrough. I remember having to download that, so my guess is either I'm not typical user, or there are two different worlds with respect to how VBox is used. 1: https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/virtualbox/6.0/user/intro-installing.html https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/virtualbox/6.0/use...
- stephenr 3y agoI think it's extremely uncommon for most people to need either rdp or PCIe passthrough, and I'd guess it's still quite uncommon (though more likely than the previous two) to need usb passthrough.
- josefx 3y agoI have been using Virtual Box for years without needing any of those. When it finally came down to PCIe pass through to get better 3D support I moved to qemu/kvm, no one forced me to pirate Oracles software for that. Of course qemu/kvm can be an absolute shit show to configure, so I still default to Virtual Box.
