I’ve got to disagree with @fsflover when it comes to VMs I’d never advice anyone to use VirtualBox at all since there is already Gnome Boxes based on the KVM/Qemu/libvirt virtualization technology available without having to install non free code like it’s AFAIK needed for the USB extension of VirtualBox.
You might find this response of mine regarding KVM useful. The whole thread contains a lot of options reading VMs.
