VirtualBox is ridiculously simple to set up and get virtual machines going. Shared folders, shared clipboard and much more are no issue.

But.

It eats resources. The installed virtual machines (VM) run relatively slow. What have you found to be feature comparable - and most importantly more resource-efficient - alternatives for running VMs under Linux?

Definitely if you're on Linux, use Qemu (and the best is to install a GUI to use it after)

    Really wish we could get in the habit of recommending GUIs first, not last.
