Look at LXC/LXD you get both VMs and containers with the same CLI.
How do you get VMs with LXC/LXD? Also LXD's command line tool being lxc (with c instead of d) while LXC's being lxc-* is an abomination. Who wouldn't be confused by that?
Is there any screenshots of the QEMU GUI running? I'm thinking of using it, but I am aghast that there's no screenshots page on the website. Also: how do you pass files into QEMU? Does it have software similar to Virtualbox's 'guest additions' software?
Edit: I realised GUI might mean creating and managing virtual machines; virt-manager might be good? Take a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libvirt for the setup needed. (I think it's easier to learn to use vanilla QEMU, though.)

Hey I don't know how much help this is, but anbox is a very rough solution. The bootup time for the android container is on the order of minutes, and lits does not work. You can try to get support in #anbox on freenode, though. There are postmarketOS people that know how to get the system working. I've never seen someone use anbox with qemu, though. It has always been same arch.
Hey Thanks for the reply. I will try to use postmarketOS on qemu. I'm wondering if there is any ec2 machine than can support (qemu-)aarch64, and also if AAA games can run on postmarketOS. Trying it and i'll let you know.

Semi-related question... I recently spent an evening trying to familiarize myself with virtualization tooling and my initial impression was that the CLI experience for kvm and hyper-v was rather clunky compared to let's say docker, gcloud, ignite and kubectl. Also a lot of the learning material seems to be oriented towards GUI. It could be that I just haven't spent enough time with kvm and hyper-v. I've spent a LOT o…

QEMU can be daunting at first (like ffmpeg, also by Fabrice Bellard!). But check out this 2018 guide to using QEMU by Drew Devault: https://drewdevault.com/2018/09/10/Getting-started-with-qemu... I stopped bothering with libvirt and other frontends for local dev environments. Now I use shell scripts to start my VMs. I only create one per month or two so it isn't that much of a hassle.
I also have just a few 20 line scripts to run my VMs, and that's all. Works with no changes/hassle for 5 years already or more. No extra SW to learn. Man qemu gives me all the answers. Easy.
I guess if you want to manage some complicated setup and dynamically add/remove disks, network cards, or whatever, all the time, migrate machines, etc., some solution like virsh would be good, but for having everything on one bridge, in one subnet, to run some throwaway VM with Windows/browsers for web testing, the simpler setup is so nice.

There's a lot of useful command-line tooling for KVM- and QEMU-based virt. Here's a small selection of them: • virsh — This[1] is libvirt's shell interface; and gives you access to the rich set of libvirt APIs. • virt-builder — Use this for rapidly building minimal or customized virtual machines; it's greatly flexible; check out its man page[2]. And here's[3] a quick example that connects both virt-builder and virsh…

You could build emulators for consoles, but QEMU is not cycle accurate. Meaning some operations may finish faster or slower than they would on the original console. Some games may rely on that timing for things like physics engines and break in weird ways.
Is that also true for Xbox games?

You are looking for Virt-manager or Boxes or any other GUI tool based on qemu if you want something similar to the vbox or vmware experience.
> it have software similar to Virtualbox's 'guest additions' software?
Yes, theyre called spice tools. Work for both linux and windows and infact pre installed on popular linux distros.
