I can advice virt-manager, it is like Virtualbox was, but the modules 
are allready in the kernel so don't have to be compiled like with 
Virtualbox. And virt-manager is in Debian, Virtualbox is not in Debian 
so far I know.

Some advices:
You have to add yourself to the group libvirt, something like:
adduser carl libvirt

And it's important to start the virtual network by default:
virsh net-autostart default

To start a virtual machine in one click so without starting virt-manager 
first I make a script like this:
----
#!/bin/bash
sudo /usr/bin/virsh start win11
virt-manager --connect qemu:///system --show-domain-console "win11"
----

It seems to be faster when you use another driver for your virtual disk. 
There are many manuals for setting it up. It's not really difficult.

With regards,
Paul
