Go to to find the appropriate download, listed as “Developer preview for macOS / Arm64 (M1/M2) hosts”.As usual, VirtualBox is completely free to download and to use. While technically in beta, anyone can get access to the developer preview beta ARM build of VirtualBox through the VirtualBox website. It does this by virtualizing hardware (that you can adjust to allocate RAM, storage capacity, etc), so the operating system itself doesn’t know that it’s not running on actual hardware. VirtualBox 7.0 is available for hosts on Windows, Linux, Solaris, Intel-based Macs, and, as noted, with heavily flagged early-stage support for ARM-based Macs.VirtualBox is virtualization software that allows you to run other operating systems in containers on your Mac directly from the application, for example you can run Linux or Windows directly within VirtualBox, and without having to use dual-booting or anything else. Better theme integration on Mac and Linux systems, with updated Qt/UI looks and fixes.Virtual IOMMU devices for Intel and AMD.Vorbis is the default audio format for recording with WebM containers.Wizard tool integrates unattended guest installations.A performance monitoring tool for guests.This provides some parity with Windows hosts, which receive standard DirectX 11 support in this 7.0 release.Īmong other improvements to this version: Perhaps most interesting for Linux hosts is support for DXVK, the Vulkan-based implementation of DirectX layers that allows for running 3D Windows applications in Wine. Linux hosts receive "reworked" screen resizing, along with "initial support" for automatic updating of the Guest Additions inside Linux guests. For the moment, though, that means they've lost internal networking functions Oracle says it will be "provided at a later date." You will, however, be able to run ARM-based Linux installations in macOS Venture that can themselves run x86 processors using Rosetta, Apple's own translation layer.īeyond that bright caution signage, Mac clients, on both Intel and ARM, have now dropped all Kernel extensions, relying entirely on Apple's hypervisor and vmnet frameworks for their function.
It's still true that ARM-based Macs don't allow for running operating systems written for Intel or AMD-based processors inside virtual machines.
