How to use multiple VMs at the same time?

I am looking to use two VM application at the same time, but haven’t figure out how. Hoping to use ubuntu on Boxes (the performance seems smooth and no delays) while also using a windows VM on virtualbox. Error message mentions running through the issue of needing to disable the KVM kernel. Could I get some insight as to how to work around this obstacle, in layman’s term?

db2 ,

I use kvm to run Windows and another OS that shall not be named runs in virtualbox, while also using the host (Linux) as my mainly used system. It works without any problems with all three running well enough to be usable.

You have to make sure you have enough cpu cores to spare for the virtual machines. If you’re using a dual or even quad core processor you’re probably stuck with only using one virtual machine at a time. Memory is also a factor, each virtual machine needs its own chunk while leaving enough for the host, if you’ve got only 8 gigs you’ll hit the ceiling pretty quickly.

LemmyStartNow OP ,

I did assumed it might have had something to do with the memory, as it commonly would. Though I have no issue running multiple OS(s) through VM on virtualbox - my gripe there is the performance/delay; however, because I heard it was possible to run Boxes and virtualbox simultaneously I assumed there was a workaround. Thank you for your response.
