Hi, for an UEFI virtual machine it doesn't matter if you are using Debian stable or a rolling release, if you want to keep the guest for a very long time. Upstream migrated from 2M to 4M firmware images. I created a guest a long time ago with 2M and nowadays it either requires a "repair" or to downgrade edk. https://salsa.debian.org/qemu-team/edk2/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/howto-2M-to-4M-migration.md?ref_type=heads https://salsa.debian.org/qemu-team/edk2/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/2M_VARS-to-4M_VARS.sh?ref_type=heads > My problem with VirtualBox is lack of support of hardware 3D rendering > combined with Windows guest plus BricsCAD. For my VirtualBox Windows guests 3D acceleration is disabled, so I can't comment on this. However, consider to test VirtualBox from the link "All distributions (built on EL6 and therefore not requiring recent system libraries)" at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads . In my experiences VirtualBox without using libraries from distro packages does perform way better, at least without 3D acceleration enabled. Probably enabled 3D acceleration does also improve.
