* sigh *
I need VirtualBox because for some classic gaming, virt-manager was not the best option for Windows XP or Windows Vista. It worked fair with Windows 7, but even when I finally could get the audio and network working, the display was lacking any reasonable hardware acceleration.
VirtualBox just works, and I don't want a debug or tweak another random setting, I just want things to work — and I mean now.
The problem is, I really wanted to use an immutable distro, because I love the idea of my daily driver being safe and secure. And while I used to be able to run VirtualBox on Fedora Kinoite (Silverblue but with KDE), it seems things have e changed.
That brings me back to NixOS, which I have gotten really good at using — while wanting to throw it out the window. Because when you become really good with NixOS, you learn that they change things constantly just for the sake of changing things. And that becomes super annoying really quick.
