It's the sensible solution if you're looking for speed and reliability. https://aws.amazon.com/compare/the-difference-between-type-1-and-type-2- hypervisors/ I've lost track of what you're trying to do. You have a bare metal Linux instance and want to spin up VMs of other distributions to see if they solve your ffmpeg problem? Yes, setting up KVM requires a few simple, well documented steps for the particular distro but once that's done you open virt-manager. It's a GUI. You specify the number of cores, RAM, and disk space and point it at the iso. The iso goes through the normal installation and you have a VM. Start and stop it through the manager. Create as many VMs as you want if you have the disk space.
