📦 VirtualBox 7.1.8 Released | @linuxiac

「 One of the most significant fixes addresses an issue where the virtual machine clock occasionally went backward under rare circumstances. Moreover, the GUI has been refined by correcting a glitch involving accelerated cursor images, thus offering a much smoother visual experience. Major enhancements have also been made to how the application handles saved and restored states. 」

Linuxiac · VirtualBox 7.1.8 Released, Here’s What’s NewVirtualBox 7.1.8 fixes rare clock rollback, GUI cursor glitches, and improves support across Linux and Windows with several key Guest Additions updates.

It's been a while since I've run VMs locally, what is the best option in 2025 for a Windows 10/11 PC?

Is VMware Player/Workstation even a viable option after the Broadcom acquisition and them selling off their EUC department to Omnissa?

Here is the new #Development #PC Build:

- #AMD #Ryzen 7 7700X
- #Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2
- #GSkill 32GB DDR5 PC-6000
- #Samsung 990 Evo Plus 1TB
- #Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- #LianLi Lancool 2007 Case
- #MSI MAG A750BE PSU
- @kde Neon

Went w/ integrated graphics for the time being & it is more than I need. Does #3dprinting slicing & drawing just fine, #virtualization just fine, #ffmpeg & the little bit of video editing I do. Blows the old i7-6700 w/ 16GB out of the water!

This VM is running with a NATted NIC, and legacy DOS TCP/IP LANMAN drivers do not display the DHCP info - So I can't see what IP address the VM is getting, and Trumpet Winsock needs that information. Handily, there is a DHCP.PRM binary file that gets created with the info in it, but there's no actual user tool as part of LANMAN to read it. So... Using only what I have on this VM, I write my own parser!
