   Experiences vary.

   KVM kinda TRASHED a UServer 20.04 I had ... installed
   an alternative kernel that WOULD NOT BOOT. At least I
   knew how to boot the previous kernel and then delete
   KVM. The OP might not. Not everyone in these groups
   is very experienced - that's why they post and maybe
   can't even clearly describe their issue.

   OTOH I've had KVM - alt kernel or not - work perfectly
   well on other distros.

   As for "user friendly" ... um ... no ..... VBox IS
   generally better that way IMHO. Of course it kinda
   depends on what The User WANTS out of it.

   For an "industrial"/"pro" server I'd rec KVM. But for
   the "hobbyist" I'd rec VBox. Both will deliver, but
   with different difficulties in different circumstances.
   Of course there's always VMWare ($$$) ......

   Anyhow, for the OP, I'd rec VBox. I think it'll do
   what he wants with minimal pain and maximum gain.
