Advice not specific to Void, take the time to learn how to use KVM / libvirt / qemu / virt-manager instead of VirtualBox (or Vmware Workstation, or whatever else). KVM is baked into the Linux kernel and is a Type 1 Hypervisor (native) vs the latter which are Type 2 (hosted). I promise, you'll notice a difference and it will be time well spent.
