On Gentoo I have found it fairly normal to switch to unstable (or |
| 12 |
unkeyworded) packages to fix issues. |

I don't want to change the subject too much, but I've fond QEMU a |
| 15 |
decent replacement for VirtualBox. It takes some set up at first but |
| 16 |
is fairly rewarding and easy to manage. I don't suggest using libvirt |
| 17 |
on Gentoo, but some people do. The main difference with not using |
| 18 |
libvirt, besides managing QEMU flags and VM startup yourself, is that |
| 19 |
spice doesn't work (the non-libvirt spice viewer has longstanding |
| 20 |
bugs, namely a particularly annoying one related to being unable to |
| 21 |
exit out of fullscreen mode). Depending on your usecase setting up |
| 22 |
remote access from within the OS of your VM might give you a better |
| 23 |
experience - you might even try that if you continue using VirtualBox. |
