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)
The most meme-ish since you’re trying a meme
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.
