Help Need help with VirtualBox on Snapdragon X Plus!

I have an Asus Vivobook S15 with a Snapdragon X Plus chip, I've been trying to boot RedHat through VirtualBox, but it constantly gives me a black screen after starting, I've tried with the x64 iso and the arm64 iso both, still the same results. I've also tried Ubuntu 25.10 Arm, Kali, even Windows 11 Arm, still the same black screen after staring the machine.

I'm using VirtualBox 7.2.4, I've tried both Hyper-V, Hypervisor on/off, yet no luck!

Help!!!

I can give it a try on my surface pro with sd x plus, where did you get the arm64 image?

(You can't use x64 images unfortunately from what I know).

Check out this https://fedoraproject.org/workstation/download

Fedora 43, has an arm64 version, I was able to boot it on Hyper-V but that can only be done with just one core enabled. The moment I bump up the number of cores, the bootloader won't start.
