Many thanks for pointing this out. True, it should be virtualization instead of a visualization. We will correct this as soon as possible.

HI,

No need to publish this, but the first line reads: “VirtualBox is a powerful, free, open-source, feature-rich, high performance and cross-platform x86 and AMD64/Intel64 visualization software for enterprise and home use.” One can argue that it VISUALIZES as well, but I guess you mean Virtualize. Thanks for the post.

You’ll have to turn USB off, there’s an [new] entry for Fedora 31 in the Wiki, no ifs, buts or maybes. This is new in Fedora 31 and my feeling is, it won’t make Fedora 32, basically, your system is now military-grade secure and military-grade usable at the same time. If you don’t carry 4 stars on your shoulder, it’s overshoot.

This guide works only on computers without having secure boot or having secure boot disabled.

There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run
/sbin/vboxconfig
as root. If your system is using EFI Secure Boot you may need to sign the
kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load
them. Please see your Linux system’s documentation for more information.
