Changing virtualbox with AQEMU

I believe reading some where that, as a free software supporter, I should avoid using virtualbox (free software version). Does this has a reason? could AQEMU be a good alternative then?
See: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/virtualization-using-kvm
I use virt-manager.
My BIOS don't support virtualization, i can't use virt-manager.
Another idea?
In the Step 4 of creating virtual machines in the advanced settings you
can qemu
Thanks icarolongo.
So is it true will should avoid the use of virtualbox? I'm talking about the free software version of course.
"VirtualBox OSE Guest Additions" is proprietary software: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/multiverse/v/virtualbox-guest-additions-iso/virtualbox-guest-additions-iso_4.3.12-1/copyright
And starting with Trisquel 7 virtualbox will not be included as compiling it requires using a non-free compiler.
LKML put the virtualbox driver into the 'suppress kernel safety checks' naughty box because it's so unreliable quite sometime ago. Further virtualbox is not in T7 (Belenos) because it requires a proprietary compiler to build the guests' BIOS. So qemu perhaps with the VM management tool of your choice is definitely the way to go.
