I'm surprised the instructions don't include editing libvirtd.conf. Even the Intel processor on my 15 year old netbook supports virtualization so that shouldn't be a problem, although it might be turned off in the bios. The instructions for different distros is about the same although the packages that add qemu, virt-manager, and so forth might have different names. Fedora 43 makes it easy -- 'sudo dnf install @virtualization'. We used to use xen on a HA server but it switched to kvm. The support people didn't miss xen. It did amuse me that the sysadmins that refused to use Linux didn't know their Windows Server VMs were running on Red Hat.
