Raw qemu at the command line for the one I use on a daily basis (not recommended for the average user). VirtualBox if I need to spin something up quickly but don’t expect to need to keep it past the current testing cycle.

Virtualbox is slow and the licensing for guest addons is nasty. It is proprietary of course and if a person in a company uses it unlicensed they will send the company a massive invoice.

I only need it for the very occasional testing of open-source software on Windows, using the precanned VM images provided by Microsoft (last I checked, they had none for qemu, or I would be using that instead). And if you’re using software commercially, you’d better be damned sure you understand the licensing before setting up. A company of any size will have lawyers vetting that anyway.

In other words, I don’t disagree with you, but those issues don’t matter for my use case.

Replied to others with this but realized you won’t get those notifications. I finally got around to releasing this, which is Debian in your browser via Docker: nowsci.com/webbian

KVM, QEMU, Looking Glass

VMware, Virtualbox for OSes that hate VMware, and Qemu for emulating OSes that only run on obscure platforms.

I’m using systemd-nspawn or Bubblewrap, depending on the scenario.

Those are container platforms not virtualization

Yep. I found I don’t have much use for a full-blown VM, whereas there’s plenty of argument for isolating my browser from ~/.ssh/id_*.
