Download the New Version for Windows: VirtualBox 7.0.10

VirtualBox is one of the most popular and widely-used virtualization platforms, allowing users to run multiple operating systems on a single machine. With its constant development and new features being implemented continuously, it's essential to stay up-to-date with the latest version.

Installing VirtualBox on Arch Linux

When installing VirtualBox on Arch Linux, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, when either VirtualBox or the kernel is updated, the kernel modules will be automatically recompiled thanks to the DKMS pacman hook. To compile the VirtualBox modules provided by virtualbox-host-dkms, it's necessary to install the appropriate headers package(s) for your installed kernel(s).

For example, if you have any other kernel (including linux-lts), choose virtualbox-host-dkms. If you're running the linux kernel, choose virtualbox-host-modules-arch.

Choosing a Package

You will also need to choose a package to provide host modules. This is important because it allows you to integrate functions of the host system with your guests, including shared folders and clipboard, video acceleration, and seamless window integration mode.

VirtualBox Guest Additions

Guest additions are provided for some guest operating systems to allow you to use these features. They come with a Qt GUI interface as well as headless and SDL command-line tools for managing and running virtual machines.

Using VirtualBox on Arch Linux

To launch VirtualBox virtual machines on your Arch Linux box, simply follow these installation steps:

1. Install the necessary packages using pacman.

2. Compile the kernel modules provided by virtualbox-host-dkms.

3. Choose a package to provide host modules (e.g., virtualbox-host-dkms or virtualbox-host-modules-arch).

4. Launch VirtualBox and start creating your virtual machines.

VirtualBox is an excellent choice for anyone looking to run multiple operating systems on their machine. With its constant development, new features are being implemented continuously, making it a great tool for developers, testers, and anyone who wants to try out different operating systems without affecting their main system.
