OSBoxes provides ready-to-use virtual machine images in VDI, VMDK and VHD formats for VirtualBox and VMware. The site offers images of Linux and Unix systems that can be downloaded and run as a virtual machine on a host system, avoiding installation alongside the main operating system.
Virt-Manager is a desktop user interface for managing virtual machines through libvirt. It primarily targets KVM VMs, and also manages Xen and LXC containers. It shows a summary view of running domains with live performance and resource statistics, and includes wizards for creating domains and adjusting resource allocation and virtual hardware. An embedded VNC and SPICE client viewer provides a graphical console to the guest domain.
QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer. It provides full-system emulation, running operating systems for any machine on any supported architecture, and user-mode emulation for running programs for another Linux/BSD target. It also runs KVM and Xen virtual machines with near native performance.
VirtualBox is general-purpose full virtualization software for x86_64 hardware, with version 7.1 additionally for macOS/Arm and version 7.2 also for Windows/Arm. It targets laptop, desktop, server and embedded use. The project is a community effort backed by Oracle, and releases include 7.2 maintenance releases that improve stability and fix regressions.
Qemu is a system utility for Windows, hardware checks, cleanup, process control, or desktop customization.
Windows Subsystem for Linux documentation from Microsoft. WSL lets developers run a GNU/Linux environment, including most command-line tools, utilities and applications, directly on Windows unmodified without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dual-boot setup.
PCjs Machines offers online machine emulators written in JavaScript. It runs DOS, Windows, OS/2 and other vintage PC applications in a web browser on desktop computers, iPhones and iPads. Emulations also cover microcomputers, minicomputers, terminals, programmable calculators and arcade machines, alongside an archive of historical software and documentation.
