Hi Orégane,
Apologies for the delay in answering.
I understand you installed Quartus directly on your machine, which specific version did you use? There are known issues if it's not 18.1.
As for the VM, I may know what's causing your USB devices to not be recognized: if your host is Linux-based, you need to add your username to the vboxusers group (on the physical host machine) to be able to catch USB peripherals inside the VM. The command is "sudo adduser $USER vboxusers" then you need to reboot. See https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=303890
Let us know if you still have issues afterwards,
Best,
The TAs team
