Leave VirtualBox (with flash player) and move to QEMU with modern browser support  [Accepted]

Hello @GevinKe,

Would you consider moving to QEMU for virtualization in the very near future? VirtualBox is outdated, especially with the need for a working Flash Player to manage your VMs. Flash Player poses a security risk; Adobe ended support in 2020, and browsers removed it in 2021, not without reason.

I personally think QEMU is a widely supported hypervisor, and there is a lot of useful information on the Proxmox forums.

Please address this security issue / dependency on Flash Player and move to a modern solution. I bought the F4 SSD with the N95 CPU to run some VMs, but the requirement for Flash Player prevents me from doing so. There is no option to install Flash Player on my work devices anymore.

Thanks in advance.

I second this, would be awesome to have a QEMU implementation instead of an outdated VirtualBox.

@GevinKe

viewtopic.php?t=9016 please note this one too, that should be in place for a proper VM deployment.

Any update on getting an updated version of VirtualBox or a better hypervisor?

When you look on YT for TOS7 the VM's app looks way better, hopefully its combined in TOS7.

Hopefully there's a migration path for VMs built in virtualbox to whatever the new platform is. 🤞
