There is some official claim somewhere in the vbox forums that vbox will never support ARM, so you might just as well consider it dead.

I'm currently using Docker for Mac but will move to UTM (a.k.a a nice UI atop qemu-hvf) when I have some time at hand.

Vagrant I only used for some other OS VMs (e.g smartos) but the base images are x64 so there's no chance it works well (if ever) on ARM either.

> vbox will never support ARM,

Is it because some kind of beef with ARM or they think it is technically impossible?

It’s strictly x86 only, and wasn’t written with other platforms in mind at all.

A port to Arm wouldn’t be really a port but a rewrite.
