I don't have any "recommendation" as I really think it is a personal preference. But, FWIW, I used rpm2cpio to unpack the Oracle package and the following RPMfusion rpms akmod-VirtualBox-5.2.8-3.fc27.x86_64.rpm python-VirtualBox-5.2.8-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm VirtualBox-5.2.8-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm VirtualBox-devel-5.2.8-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm VirtualBox-guest-additions-5.2.8-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm VirtualBox-kmodsrc-5.2.8-2.fc27.noarch.rpm VirtualBox-server-5.2.8-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm VirtualBox-webservice-5.2.8-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm The major difference in size is caused by VBoxGuestAdditions.iso being supplied in Oracle but not in RPMfusion. I don't have the RPMfusion stuff installed but I'm guessing it must get built or something at some point. [egreshko@meimei Vbox]$ find ./Oracle/ -name *iso ./Oracle/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso [egreshko@meimei Vbox]$ find ./Fusion/ -name *iso [egreshko@meimei Vbox]$ -- Conjecture is just a conclusion based on incomplete information. It isn't a fact.
