Linux kernel 5.6 arrived at the end of March 2020 as the first release to ship with the WireGuard VPN solution built-in, providing next-generation VPN connections on Linux-powered machines. If you’re using VirtualBox, which is one of the best free virtualization solutions out there, you should know that you can now install it on a Linux distro powered by Linux kernel 5.6. Additionally, with the VirtualBox 6.1.6 release you can now install GNU/Linux distributions powered by Linux kernel 5.6 on any supported host, including macOS and Windows.
