From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What? Is there some new controversy going on ?
Oh, people recommend VirtualBox all the time and it's awful.
Ah well, I've used Virtualbox, Vmware and KVM and I found them all useful for my purposes. Vmware is very slick and has an edge on easy Gfx acceleration for Windows guests but since they're now owned by Broadcom that might become a problem.
I'm happy with Virtualbox on my desktop and KVM on a few servers. I don't really care to take sides.
What's awful about it? Genuinely asking
Performance compared to KVM is really poor. And it handles graphics poorly.
I've tried QEMU for this, I'll try KVM one of these days
