I use Arch Linux, and some apps require me to use Windows. I have tried to get Wine working, but it’s just too much of a hassle. If the only goal of my virtualization setup is to run something like Adobe apps (I’m not doing any gaming on it), will Virtualbox or virt-manager be the quick and easy choice for me? I have tried using Virtualbox, but it didn’t work due to some dkms drivers I think. I also don’t want to use QEMU by itself, as I don’t like using terminal commands and much prefer using a GUI to do things.

    I used VMware or vbox for 10+ years, or HyperV in Windows.

    Lastly in Linux I needed a windows XP install for an old program, I tried QEMU and after booting the install iso, I just created a small script to launch my installed image with some parameters I needed for serial port, and that’s it.

    I like QEMU, and will try to use it for any VM now.

      Make sure you use KVM for acceleration.

      Best option is virtual manager
