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.

I think VBox is more user friendly? Virt-manager would need a GTK4 (?) update and a few UX improvements.

Virtual manager requires a lot less clicks. It also uses libvirt so you can run VMs in the background and on startup.

If you want a better UI look into other clients.

Certainly using a slightly dated Gtk is still more user friendly and better integrated than the god aweful stuff Oracle puts up. What UX improvements are you looking for?

I never got clipboard sharing working, on Fedora 40 KDE on Wayland. Probably a Wayland issue.

It should work out of the box but if not you can check to see if qemu-guest-agent is running
