Hi,

Firstly thank you for a terrific tool and the capability you're providing for us.

I've been thinking about KVM for HiddenVM as a superior and safer method over VirtualBox.

It's now well documented with guides for how to set up Windows, OS X and Linux on KVM without problem, as well as Whonix if you want a Torified OS on KVM.

Whonix's wiki provides some good reasons why to not rely on VirtualBox for long-term future:

I also read that KVM can provide much better hardware performance vs. VirtualBox in a Linux host environment.

Would you consider KVM?
Thanks

Hi.

Yes, we're considering KVM too. We need to see if it's even possible. It's already a technical feat to get vbox running on Tails, especially as smoothly as we've made it.

For now it's VirtualBox, but yes we'll be looking into KVM for the future. Testing will take a while.

Why don't we have two repositories? One for KVM and one for VirtualBox?
