Is it possible to install an OS from a pre-prepared virtual image?
I started my acquaintance with virtual machines with virtualbox and immediately the question arose: is it possible to prepare a system image with the necessary installed set of utilities in virtualbox in advance and then promptly install this happiness on an already non-virtual computer? That is, install the system from the virtualbox image and use it as a host system.
In my opinion, this question should be very relevant, but Google only offers me information on how to install the system in virtualbox, and not from it.

Because it's usually done differently than what you described. Firstly, with a high degree of probability, such a system simply will not take off on real hardware, since the drivers of controllers and other hardware in virtualbox are emulated and, of course, will not be understood by normal hardware.
Secondly, if you need to deploy a system from an image, then usually the image is taken from an already configured system and distributed to similar ones, not forgetting to change network names, product keys, and so on.
Thirdly, to simplify the installation process, you can use systems that install the entire set of software on a connected and loaded machine over the network in "stream" mode without "noise and dust".
But you want really strange :)
