Virtualbox does not support m1

Has this issues been resolved:

minikube start --driver=virtualbox
:smile: minikube v1.38.1 on Darwin 26.3.1 (arm64)
:sparkles: Using the virtualbox driver based on user configuration

:x: Exiting due to DRV_UNSUPPORTED_OS: The driver ‘virtualbox’ is not supported on darwin/arm64

It has not been – Virtualbox barely works at all on AppleSilicon.

Thankfully, you don’t need Virtualbox to run minikube on a Mac. The new Macs have a very good driver that’s native: vfkit. Here are the docs for that.
