EDIT: I decided to go with Virtual Box since Hyper-V just doesn’t seem to work on my PC. Thank you everyone for the recommendations!

I’ve you’re running Linux on your system use KVM. If you’re running Windows, use Virtual box.

KVM via virt-manager (GUI front-end for QEMU)

I’ve used both, but though not an open project like VirtualBox, VMWare Player (free) has better 3D support. I run three Arch based distros under VMWare Player, Endeavor OS, ArcoLinux and Manjaro, and it works great with KDE and visual effects turned on, video playback… It picks up my keyboard quick keys fine, but to get my mouse back and forward buttons working I have to add these to the .vmx file on new installs (might save you a little time).

mouse.vusb.enable = "TRUE"
mouse.vusb.useBasicMouse = "FALSE"
usb.generic.allowHID = "TRUE"

Doesn’t matter that much. Personally I’d just go with virtualbox because it’s open source.

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.
