All 3 VMs are Linux guests setup using Virtualbox.
The web surfing VM for example is mainly just the tor browser running in Vbox's seamless mode.

I have all three running on my VM and they serve my needs very well Indeed.

Debian, personally. I've used Arch and CentOS in the past as well.
RE: Free time - Jusluvn - 08-23-2020
Arch is always nice. I also love debian and sometimes opensuse

I do prefer Manjaro, which is based on Arch. But I recently had really bad problems using Manjaro as a VirtualBox Guest so I switched to Debian for now. Beside that I have Linux Mint running.

If so and stating the obvious, try It on another VM.
RE: Free time - traptow - 08-26-2020
Yeah, I tried some different VMs. The problem has something to do with the graphic adapter, guest additions and the latest kernel. Maybe the next release of VirtualBox will fix the issue.
Thanks for the help
