VirtualBox on Linux is especially bad (crashy kernel drivers). (Yes, I know there theoretically exist different Vagrant backends, but Vagrantfiles and public images are married to specific backend so all the reasons to use Vagrant tie it to VB)

Have you tried using vagrant-libvirt on Linux? You can convert public images to run on it using vagrant-mutate.
