From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My bad, I haven't run Debian based distros for a while. Run this instead
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
I've edited my comment
It's telling me that they are already installed:

Then restart you machine. That normally needs to be done after installing virtualbox. See if it works.
I already restarted my computer twice after installing it, is there any reason I would have restart my computer a third time?
Ok then, it's probably the dkms shitting the bed. Follow this
Is there something specific from that link that I'm supposed to use because I tired the top solution and it just gave me a bunch of error messages:
You didn't clarify you were running the Oracle release of Virtualbox 7.0. I am running Virtualbox 7.0 on Linux Mint 21.2 without issue, but my computer is too old for EFI. Those instructions are for the community release, which has the components of virtualbox split into separate packages.
I don't have any good answers for you, but I would recommend you update your post to include the fact that you're running Oracle's packages, and the version of Linux Mint you're using.
When you say other packages, what are you referring to? If you are referring to downloading the package directly from their website verses just installing it through apt using Mint's repository, I have done both and I have the same issue with both of them.
