From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

vbox is easy. qemu is kinda frustrating to use sometimes, although virt-manager makes it a little easier

Virt-Manager provides a complete UI, with a four step wizard to creating a VM, how is vbox any easier?

Vbox will create a bridge with my wifi card (I'm a laptop user with no option for a wired nic in the host).

I've never been able to get kvm to do that and haven't found any working instructions online that a simpleton like me can follow

Create the bridge with Network Manager advanced config, voilà!

vbox is easy until it starts saying vt-d isn't enabled and refuses to start when it fact it is.
