I use Arch Linux, and some apps require me to use Windows. I have tried to get Wine working, but it’s just too much of a hassle. If the only goal of my virtualization setup is to run something like Adobe apps (I’m not doing any gaming on it), will Virtualbox or virt-manager be the quick and easy choice for me? I have tried using Virtualbox, but it didn’t work due to some dkms drivers I think. I also don’t want to use QEMU by itself, as I don’t like using terminal commands and much prefer using a GUI to do things.

    iirc gnome boxes doesnt support gpu passthrough while virt-manager does, which would be convenient to have for adobe apps.

          GPU acceleration. You don’t want GPU passthough as then you have 2 cursors and no copy and paste
