David, I hope I can gain some time by a workaround to continue using virtualbox 7 [1]. However, I consider to migrate my Windows guests or at least the Windows 11 guest to QEMU. It's just that I don't have time at the moment to learn how to set up Samba or to follow any alternative approach mentioned by https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/QEMU#Sharing_data_between_host_and_guest . I'm already running a QEMU/KVM Linux guest using Virtual Machine Manager. It's as easy as using virtualbox, just sharing data isn't that straight forward.
Virtualbox 6.1.50 doesn't work anymore on my machine [2]. Maybe I just need to rebuild it against some probably updated dependency or maybe I need to downgrade the kernel or to run the LTS kernel or ... or ...
I came across this article to set up a Windows VM using docker: https://linuxtldr.com/windows-docker-container/ Not sure how feasible it is though. But since I might have to deal with Windows in the near future it looks tempting to me. KR Frank
