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

      Yes you do

      You need a computer with at least a few cores and some ram. Ideally it should support virtual acceleration

          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.
