When it comes to VirtualBox from Oracle I find that statement "odd" to say the least. When I install the VirtualBox from Oracle it installs /lib/systemd/system/vboxdrv.service. When the system starts if there is no driver matching the running kernel it will be built and then loaded. This results in....
