ich just installed Endeavour OS latest with Virtualbox 7. Then I installed Windows 11 as a guest, so far it seems ok. But after a while I cannot do anything within the Virtualbox window. No mouse klick, no keyboard.
It seems it is not crashing, I can still see the Win11 screen …
I disabled 3D already because I know there is a issue … .
Anyone having same issue?
EDIT: Just restarted the machine and I can do some actions until it freezes, so the freeze appears after some time …
Since the upgrade to VB 7, I have had freezes, after a while, with a Linux guest that was previously perfectly fine. Sometimes it’s instant, sometimes it takes an hour.
I always had that issue with VB. For some reason, VB doesn’t like to run Windows guests on a Linux host. Due to this, I stopped using it and switch to using QEMU/KVM or VMWare.
But I prefer using QEMU/KVM over VMWare. But as many know it’s not easy to get QEMU/KVM working properly. But now there is a solution to this called Quickemu.
The git page says it’s mainly available for Ubuntu but we have our AUR. It’s in there.
