Hello everyone. I am not very technical user but I will try to explain my issue to the best of my ability.
I am using virtualbox on windows to run whonix. I used whonix 17 extensively and 16 prior to that, on the same host computer and never had this issue there. I have just now installed a new whonix from version 18.0.8.7 ova files.
The issue is that whonix 18 workstation is very sluggish/laggy/choppy. It feels like the whole system runs at 10 frames per second. Everything except the mouse cursor. However, it doesn’t happen at all on whonix gateway. I still have my old whonix 17 workstation install to test side by side and can confirm it is still smooth as it always was. I did few tests, giving more ram, more cpu cores and enabling 3D acceleration + more video memory. But there was no change. I don’t understand why Gateway is smooth and Workstation is practically unusable for me right now.
Thanks in advance for any help!
