Hmm, thanks Johannes for that hint.. can you run Windoze (yuck), Linux and other stuff as full hypervisor or does this work more like separated dedicated FreeBSD Jail? My main problem is with people that write software for Windoze (yuck) only. Both hardware and software utilities that needs USB2.0 connectivity. Recently the e-government got into closed-source PKI with Windoze (yuck) only applications. So the problem with lack of USB 2.0/3.0 in FreeBSD's VirtualBox is getting bigger and bigger.. not everything works in USB 1.0 mode. I am working usually on my macOS, but 10.14 + VirtualBox performance got that terrible, I had to move to FreeBSD where things work smoothly on a really slower underlying hardware.. except that USB2.0 support which is missing because of missing VirtualBox ExtensionPack.
