I may, eventually, see if qemu is faster, but that's even more arcane, so it's not likely in the short term. In short, it does so much of what I need it to do that the commercial competitors don't have an appeal for me. I sometimes wonder if VMWare Fusion would be worth it, for the raw device support, etc., but I understand that it can be configured in VirtualBox, with patience and Terminal-fu.
For free (I, too, was tired of the "subscription model" annual upgrade pleas/threats), I really have to try to find a problem with it.
Parallels seems to virtualize Mac OS more smoothly.
Copy of install macOS application is damaged and cant be used to install macOS. Once you download the installer, just double click on it. Based on that I will create and configure the virtual machine. 1: 1 uninstall virtualbox with the uninstall script. The first thing you need to do is to download and install VirtualBox from Oracles official website. Although double those amounts is recommended for a smoother user experience. It works well with most Linuxes I throw at it (have had some issues with Linux Mint and video drivers). Download Fedora Step 3: Create an empty virtual machine and configure it Fedora requires a minimum of 20GB disk space & 2GB RAM, to install and run successfully. I triple boot on my MacBook, but may toss that for using virtualized PCs. Two-way clipboard support just works, and the granular control over the emulated hardware (how many cores, how much RAM, what size drive, etc.) makes it sweet for testing system parameters. It's not quite as nice to configure as Parallels, but once it's running it's fantastic. Secondly, it extends the capacity of your existing computer so that it can run multiple OSs, inside multiple virtual machines at the same time on a Mac. What can be said has mostly been said, but I'll chime in. First and foremost, it installs on your existing AMD or intel-based computer, whether you are running Windows, Mac OS X, Oracle Solaris (OSES) or Linux apps on a Mac.
