Hi, would like to see the Host OSes page as well, not only the guest one:

Host OSes wiki page
Re: Host OSes wiki page
I just need a quick way to see the list of supported hosts, for example ubuntu 20.10.

Re: Host OSes wiki page
I didn't know that page before, but I can see it's pretty out of date. Given the diversity of existing operating systems, that's no surprise, and I wouldn't expect anybody to maintain such pages. The VirtualBox download pages are probably the closest possibility for you to check for supported hosts. Just my two cents.

Re: Host OSes wiki page
The officially Supported Host Operating Systems are listed in Para 1.4 of the User Manual, but might be slightly out of date, e.g. Ubuntu 20 not listed yet.
There is, of course, a significant difference between supported and what VirtualBox works on, e.g. Arch Linux and it's derivatives aren't officially supported but there are plenty of users (presumably not paying support customers). Nor are derivatives of the supported Linux Distributions listed (apart from Oracle Linux).

Ok I'll take a shot with Ubuntu 20.10. It's not LTS but has latest bug fixes and features.
Re: Host OSes wiki page
Thanks all of you for the answers. Virtualbox 6.1.16 r140961 working perfectly fine on Manjaro.
