  Why?

    So that you can run the windows exclusive software in a virtual machine.

  Is Virtualbox still considered the go-to VM program? I haven’t been keeping up.

    Very much no

    Use libvirtd/Qemu on Linux and Hyper-V on Windows

    Neither have I really. It’s the last one I used, which was like 5 years ago.

    I recommend using a kernel virtual machine.

    KVM comes with the Linux kernel.

    If you want to set it up manually, you’ll have to look into qemu and virtio.

    If you want a more virtualbox-like experience, you can use boxes (also called “gnome boxes”), which gives you a very simple UI for setting up VMs (including windows) with networking/shared drives/hardware pass through/etc.

      KVM is just the hypervisor, not the whole package.
