Many sites give you a laundry list of things to install but I haven't found that to be necessary. I've seen it called different things in the menu but it's usually 'Virtual Machine Manager' in the System tools. At least that's what it is on the Raspberry Pi Trixie based OS. 'lsmod | grep kvm' should show either kvm_amd or kvn_intel. Most distros load the module by default or you can use modprobe. Really old processors don't have the necessary instructions to support kvm but my LM is on a 2011 netbook and has them. lsmod on the Pi doesn't show kvm but I do have a Ubuntu VM on it for kicks. It's a tty session but it does run. You're experience echos mine on LM. I could install VB, unload the kvm module, and start the manager but actually trying to spin up a VM threw the dkms errors. kvm/QEMU works fine. As far as Leap 16, I first spun up the GNOME version. It's plain vanilla GNOME and sucks. Rather than try to civilize it I switched to KDE. I think that was the iso that pointed out another problem. I had an old thumbdrive formatted with vfat. The iso was bigger than 4 GB so I had to reformat it to exfat.
