Hello! I have a small issue. I would like to be able to run an x64 Linux guest inside a Linux Guest. More exactly I have a Kali Linux Guest x64 which will be the host of a BlackArch Linux. I see I have no option to create any x64 VMs inside the Linux Guest which will act as a host. This can be done with docker but I need to use Virtual Box instead... Is there any way to fix this blocker I ran into?
NOTE: That I cannot enable VT-X since the host is a Guest as well...
Thank you!

Re: Running VirtualBox inside a Linux guest
Since you will not have VT-x/AMD-v you will only be able to run 32-bit guests and they will be super slow.
Re: Running VirtualBox inside a Linux guest
Yes. I know... Wish i had an option somehow. If I use a Windows 10 guest virtual machine I can enable VT-X with some sort of application Microsoft made. But Linux does not have such kind of application. It's pretty sad that I cannot fix this... After all, I guess no one uses a virtual machine guest inside another virtual machine guest... I needed this to test something on kali linux through black arch linux. This thing is possible with docker, but it has some bugs regarding this...
