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.

I'm going to be greybeard: you should totally use kvm/qemu, and virt-manager is great for that.
Buuuuuuut, you should also absolutely learn how to use virsh to at least manage (start/stop/delete/deploy) them, because that tooling is guaranteed to exist basically anywhere and fancy gui stuff might not, or your system might be broken in a way preventing you from running a gui app, or whatever.
I promise, the hardest thing in virsh is setting up a bridged network if you need that and the rest of it is waaay simpler than dealing with a gui for deployment.
You don't need virsh at all. Virtual manager will work just fine.
You dont need a computer either
Yes you do
You need a computer with at least a few cores and some ram. Ideally it should support virtual acceleration
Nope throw it in the lake
Not advisable as most machines aren't rated for that environment. Also even it is it will be a pain to fine especially if there is mud.
