      If you wanted a one-liner

      sudo dnf group install --with-optional virtualization -y && systemctl start libvirtd && systemctl enable libvirtd

      sudo dnf -y install virt-manager

      That's not the guest utils etc, just one piece of the pie.

        by guest utils you mean the libguestfs-tools?

        That's the step before installing the virt-manager

          why don't you build a guide.

                  That one command is his whole guide. Just run the command, you have a KVM system.

                  sudo dnf install @virtualization -y

                    @scottalanmiller and if you needed/wanted additional tools, you could run the longer version which I linked too.

                        Doesn't matter, if your hardware doesn't support virtualization, you're dead in the water anyways.

                          The additional tools are really nice though, being able to mount and browse a file system of a guest without having to go into the guest. . . ahhh I'm drooling.

                          File recovery anyone?

                              Besides going to the BIOS to confirm if Virtualization is enabled.
                              Use this command

                              egrep -c '(svm|vmx)' /proc/cpuinfo
                              

                              You want the output to not show 0.

                                  That is not a guide. It is a single command with no reasoning behind what it is or why it is or how to then use KVM after running it.

                                    Back to the OP.

                                    @WrCombs wants to things most likely...

                                    a desktop environment to run in - So Fedora or Ubuntu most likely... and then a separate "server" box to install Linux Server OSes on to experiment with to do things like - setup FreePBX, setup NC, setup file server, etc.

                                    yes.
                                    I could even VM those, right? or no? - Forgive the newbness, but I'm thinking a Desktop and then run a VM Boxes with server OS's to do what @Dashrender is saying and thoughts on which ones to try.

                                    Boxes is weird, but yes. Throw Fedora or Ubuntu onto a laptop or desktop, install KVM, and virtualize anything that you want. You get a fully functional, and gorgeous desktop environment, but can test any server OS or alternative desktop OS that you like.

                                    sounds like the likely chose..
                                    I know they're out there; anyone got the link for the guides?

                                    for installing KVM ;
                                    I'll start another list of projects that I'm going to work on and go from there

                                    https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-kvm-on-fedora/

                                    Did I not have a guide here on ML?

                                    For KVM on Fedora? Don't recall one.

                                    Apparently not. I just did some searching, and it is mostly posts and screenshots of the various things in other people's threads.
