    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.

    Slow down. VMware can be one click and done. All these alternatives and extras and configurations are the reason windows people don’t try Linux. Don’t over complicate a simple thing. If they want new or more they can figure that out at a later date.

      VMware is much harder to setup as it requires additional setup

      You just install virt-manager and reboot. That’s it.

      sudo apt install virt-manager

          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
