I’d like some recommendations as a beginner in the virtualization space for good GUI software for running vms for both experimentation and server use.

I’ve used virtualbox on Windows before but are there any better alternatives on Linux? I hear a lot of praise of QEMU but this seems to be only terminal based like what you do with containers.

VMware workstation is free but again, I’d like to know your thoughts on other good beginner options.

Thank you advance and have a good day/afternoon/night

      It hides to many options. I just want to create a VM with only 4 cores

        You can change the core count AFTER making the VM which I agree is really annoying.

        Besides that everything else has worked more reliably than others options I’ve tried.
