Should I install Kali on a virtualbox or should I directly install it as a dualboot?
Depends on your intent I suppose. Naturally, a direct install would run faster than a VM but if you actually require safety then I believe the generally accepted mentality is to not install it at all but to run it live so that every time you boot it you get a clean run. That way you can't get hacked on it and have malware/rootkits or whatever installed. Personally, I like ParrotOS running live mode inside a VM just for the added security of the host being protected as well. More on reddit.com
