virtualbox-kvm

#1 Post by travis82 »

Hi

virtualbox-kvm uses KVM backend as the underlying hypervisor. It lets users to use virtualbox gui and vdi based machines without the need of virtualbox kernel driver. I have tested it on Arch linux and it is fully functional. Simpler to configure and run virtual machines than virt-manager and more feature-rich than gnome-boxes. Would be great if it added to MX repository.

more information can be found here:

Hmmm...what about this on that github link?

The MX Test repository is mostly backports; not the same as Debian testing
