MacOS Virtualization using VMware
I had to fix a well known issue with running VMware on Linux - compiling your own kernel modules. This isnt much of a problem for seasoned users but for others it might be a deal breaker. This repo will save you hours of searching google.

VMWare Workstation 16 w/ Kernel 6.0.4
# From sabennett on VMWare Forum Second method (replace original tarballs): wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-16.2.1.tar.gz tar -xzf workstation-16.2.1.tar.gz cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-16.2.1 tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ vmware-modconfig --console --install-all In this case, last two commands require root privileges.

How to downgrade the kernel?
I'm on the same boat - the current Kernel (5.19) doesn't support the VMware Workstation (same build as player) - I believe kernel 5.17 works. This git page has helped me out in the past https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules

- How to connect to SPICE? I have no idea why this even came up. when I run fedora it works fine but when I run windows 8/10/11 it always pops up connect to SPICE window.

Anyone Doing This With Gentoo?
Absolutely. I run all kinds of things like that - k8s kubelet, docker, qemu, kvm. To manage them I tend to use Podman, virt-manager, and this less-well-known-but-still-useful script for qemu: https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu for which someone wrote a front-end for: https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickgui

Let's Try Gnome Boxes
FWIW, I got leary of Gnome Boxes (probably because I usually need to run a commercial OS like Windows) and found myself pretty happy with quickemu/quickgui - https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickgui

Is there a tool that lets me easily create virtual machines for use with libvirt?
imo this is where it's at right now: https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu There's even a flutter-based GUI (https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickgui), if that's your thing.

Virtual machine recommendations
[quickemu] is excellent if you just need a quick way to install and test other OSs, it even has a GUI now for downloading/installing the OSs and basic management.

I blame you all for this, I started with only an old laptop
I would suggest instead, setting up a Ubuntu VM and using QuickEmu GitHub linkquickemu GitHub. And also the QuickGUI GitHub project. link. It's much simpler to setup VMs and is very efficient with resources.

How did you discover linux?
I recommend trying it out via quickemu if you don't want to test it on bare-metal. Works fine for me for testing distro and creating VMs quickly even on Fedora (the dnf @virtualization meta-package seems to cover all of the requirements aside for virgl which I think is snap-only?).
