#VirtualBox 7.0.18 is out now with more fixes to prevent UBSAN warnings and a fix for an issue with incorrectly displayed time stamps within mounted shared folder for #Linux Guest Additions, as well as a fix an issue that caused a host system crash when the VM used a bridged or host-only network adapter.

Preinstalled even though Virtual Box is not installed. It seems easy enough to uninstall, as nothing seems to depend on it. But it does beg the question of why it is included.
i’m a mac user, and Im experimenting with Linux distros using Virtual Box. Manjaro KDE seems pretty good, and it’s running Plasma 5.27. I want to try Plasma 6 — So I downloaded KDE Neon after the megarelease. it tries to run, but it doesn’t complete. It gets stuck on a black screen inside Virtual Box. Is there a known issue with KDE Neon in Virtual Box?
If you cannot use #Linux, which is better: Mac OS X or Windows
I ask because I am starting a job where the IT department can only supply me with a generic Windows PC or #MacBook. I actually want to run #VirtualBox#VMWare or something with Linux (Guix OS) on the host machine, since most of the software I rely on is for Linux. I have tried #WSL but it has never been a good user experience for me.
I am leaning toward Mac OS X just because it seems to require less memory than Windows but both Mac and Windows ask for a minimum of 4 GB, and I want the host OS to take as little memory as possible and leave as much as possible for the guest Linux OS. Also, its a #Unix system with #Homebrew, and in my experience the native versions of most Linux software work pretty well on Mac OS X.
Does anyone have experience with all three operating systems who can offer advice?
