A simple GUI wrapper around Linux's built-in QEMU and KVM support for running virtual machines. It makes simple things easy to set up and run.
To adjust advanced settings you either need to edit config files manually or use another GUI like VirtManager. I've never managed to get hardware acceleration working right on it, which makes Windows guests a lot slower than Linux ones.
