Virt-manager is a GUI for libvirt, which can use several hypervisors, including KVM/QEMU, and it works great.
There’s several other clients for libvirt, including GNOME Boxes, Cockpit (web based), and virsh (CLI).

Virt-manager works ok

Because it’s owned by Oracle and they’re the kings of malicious licensing. Using their software, even as an individual, with no intention of ever using it for work, gives them more power. Of course, if you ever even think about using it for work, then be prepared for the company you work for to be paying a huge bill or be sued.

It’s for personal use only. Should I be switching to native Linux virtualization with KVM or something?

I would recommend it. I also started with VirtualBox and made my way over to GNOME Boxes. Anything else will have a learning curve, but in the end, I found the alternatives work better once you wrap your head around them and you don’t ever need to worry about Oracle pulling the rug from under you.

Given how VMWare apparently is pulling this is wouldn’t be surprised. I’ll give it a shot. Worst case I learn something new!
