"Two weeks ago, out of nowhere and just when I needed VirtualBox most, I found I couldn't create virtual machines. When this very same thing happened a week earlier, I had to perform a purge uninstall, and reinstall the software to get it to work.

"Also: The best Linux distributions for beginners: Expert tested and reviewed This time around, that purge didn't work. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get VirtualBox to behave. This same issue has surfaced for me repeatedly over the years. The number of times I've had to uninstall and reinstall VirtualBox is mind-blowing. Sometimes, uninstalling and reinstalling isn't enough to solve the problem. Even worse, the errors I get are no help."
VirtualBox frequently failed to create virtual machines, requiring purge uninstalls and reinstalls that sometimes did not resolve the problem. Errors produced by VirtualBox provided little or no useful diagnostic information. Repeated uninstall-reinstall cycles became routine and unreliable. KVM is part of the Linux kernel and leverages hardware virtualization like Intel VT and AMD‑V to deliver near‑native VM performance. Virt-Manager provides a graphical front end to manage KVM virtual machines. Virt-Manager with KVM offers a stable, open-source alternative to VirtualBox for running virtual machines on Linux. Virt-Manager is free and open-source and generally more reliable than VirtualBox for Linux virtualization.
