I’ve been out of the loop about Linux and I’ll be switching back to it this weekend. What’s the best way to run VMs on Linux now (that supports Wayland)?
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.

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 ;)

Noted. I’ve heard of QEMU but I never tried to get it working before. I’ll use that from now on.
And USB hotplug?
Same as it always has been, KVM/Qemu/Libvirt…
