Hello, I'm working on setting up Virtual Machines using VirtualBox or VMware on my Windows 10 laptop. Despite adjusting settings like RAM, VRAM, and CPU cores, the performance remains sluggish. The BIOS is enabled for virtualization, but running a Linux distro causes delays. Interestingly, dual-booting on an older 2010 Windows 10 laptop works perfectly without lag. My machine has an Intel Core i7-6700HQ, 8 GB DDR4 RAM, 256 GB SSD, 1 TB HDD, and a Nvidia GeForce GTX 965M GPU. What might be causing this issue?

With Manjaro, the problem lies in the hardware acceleration not reaching the virtual machine. This seems to be a common issue across all systems.

I recall this correctly: apt-get update then apt-get install --install-recommends linux-virtual, followed by installing the necessary tools. This should upgrade the kernel to one optimized for virtual environments. However, it seems the kernel itself hasn't changed much—still worth trying!
