I use a virtualbox vm for work. Linux desktop runs a windows VM with Windows 10 and all my work stuff on it. I love it, its been very reliable. Its mostly simple though, it doesn’t need to be super speedy, just needs to house my orgs mandatory vpn and av so I can connect to my work stuff.
GNOME Boxes is actually simpler than Virtualbox, in my opinion, with all the options you’ll need. It even lets you install a variety of ISOs straight from the interface, without needing to go out to the web. Of course, if you’re installing Windows, you need to supply your own ISO file.
Virt-Manager can be unintuitive but it’s plenty capable.
@MrShelbySan@wildbus8979 You pretty much always want to be using KVM. QEmu, VMM, VirtualBox, Gnome Boxes, and some other apps all support it. The rest is just down to what app/tools you prefer.
It’s 2023 and it’s been pretty much a decade since I’ve stopped understanding why people use VirtualBox on Linux.

Pretty sure something built into the kernel, used by all major cloud providers is gonna be more reliable than some dodgy DKMS driver…

I assume all the “real Linux pros” are using qemu, which is a real pita if you want to do anything beyond creating a basic VM.

Well, I guess I’ll eat my words. This is much better than the last time I messed around with it.
It’s been around since 2009 ;)

And USB hotplug?
Same as it always has been, KVM/Qemu/Libvirt…

Does it even support wayland yet?
