    Why would you want that on Linux? We already have qemu KVM which can be used via libvirt. Just install virtual manager and be done with it.

    The speed you are seeing is the same as KVM

            Exactly. That’s way more complicated and requires loading external software not packaged by distros. Meanwhile virt manager is very easy to install and it is in the repos pretty much everywhere. You also could use gnome boxes as it doesn’t even need root. It is just a flatpak
