Installing Kali Linux on Virtual box in Mac M1 max

Post by lightsky »

Hi there,

I have an issue with installing kali linux on Vbox in Mac M1.
I recently saw a post that vbox has launched a preview version for Mac M1/M2 hosts and it is working fine.

So I was wondering how to install kali linux on vbox in Mac M1?

Yes.

Eh, not so much. Old OS's, but not for modern ones. XP 32-bit is the newest that has been reported.

Please see M1/M2 Mac 7.0 Beta Status

See the FAQ referenced. If anything changes then so will the FAQ. And don't hold your breath: running complex Intel code on an ARM-core processor is not a viable proposition IMO.
