Is there a friendly alternative to VMWare/Virtualbox? I would move back to Virtualbox, but it’s now owned by oracle
minus-squarehddsxOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 months agoLooks a bit overkill, as I just use workstation pro. Do you have any familiarity with it to see if it’s easy to run a single VM?

It is not the same level of virtualzation that Virtualbox is. For that, you could look into using Virt-manager if using a Linux based host.
