Improved performance and efficiency due to the use of the ARM architecture The transition from using Intel x86 processors to Apple Silicon began in 2020 and since than Apple has released M1 and M2 processors with their computers. Apple Silicon refers to Apple's custom-designed ARM-based processors used in their Mac computers. It is very exciting news because it is a native version of VirtualBox for ARM processors of Apple. Currently VirtualBox is available in beta version for Apple Silicon processors but you can use it to install and test any operating system.

VirtualBox is available to install on Windows, Linux, Mac (Intel and Apple Silicon) and Oracle. It is a popular choice for software developers, testers, and users who need to run multiple operating systems for various purposes. VirtualBox provides a variety of features, including support for a wide range of guest operating systems, snapshotting for preserving the state of a virtual machine, and integration with popular development environments. This allows users to run different operating systems and their applications on the same physical machine without the need for multiple physical devices. With VirtualBox, users can create virtual machines (VMs) that run on a host operating system and act as if they were separate physical computers. VirtualBox is a free and open-source virtualization software that allows users to run multiple operating systems on a single physical machine.
