This is another good reminder to not use VMware nor VirtualBox for any reason.
It's free and works for me, why should I stop using Virtualbox?
and what to use instead? run qemu commands and all the preparation by hand?
there's proxmox, but that's not a desktop solution.
Virt-manager is a GUI for libvirt, which can use several hypervisors, including KVM/QEMU, and it works great.
There's several other clients for libvirt, including GNOME Boxes, Cockpit (web based), and virsh (CLI).
Boxes is very well-organized and easy to use.
Yeah but GTK
Yeah, I don't prefer that. But with some things I feel like it's barely a downside, and I'd put Boxes into that category. It's useful and well-designed enough in terms of functionality that I'm willing to overlook the Gnominess.
