Should the WinApps documentation include instructions for setting it up with VirtualBox?

Description
I managed to set up WinApps with a Windows 11 VM running on VirtualBox, and I was wondering if you'd like me to send you a pull request with the instructions.
I understand that KVM is the preferred method due to being native, standard, and having better performance, but I think VirtualBox would be an interesting option for people like me who are more used to it and its features, or who may even already have a Windows VM set up on it and would rather just connect WinApps to it rather than install a new VM on different software just for this purpose.
I can add a notice at the top advising users to consider the Docker or Virtual Machine Manager methods due to the aforementioned reasons before choosing this one.

Research direction
Review the existing Docker and Virtual Machine Manager setup documentation, then compare it with the proposed VirtualBox setup. If maintainers accept the addition, document how to connect WinApps to a Windows 11 VM in VirtualBox and add the suggested notice favoring Docker or Virtual Machine Manager; done means users can follow the instructions successfully.
