I totally agree with you on the Linux side. However, I first got into Linux by using it in Virtualbox on Windows. In the Windows world, as far as I know, it’s the easiest-to-use free-as-in-beer^1^ hypervisor, so long as UEFI support has improved since I last used it.

1: I say this because of the non-libre extension pack.

Hyper-v is bundled with windows now and is just as easy to use as virtualbox (slightly easier for windows guests since the drivers are bundled in the os)

Who would have thought? I’ve hardly touched Windows in over 2 years (mostly other people’s computers and the occasional app in my GPU-accelerated VM) so I haven’t kept up much.

I mean yeah, Qemu/KVM is Linux software. We're talking about Linux here. Ain't ever heard of that other thing you speak about. Think I I stalled it once in a VM to run some firmware update on some obscure device.
