Did a demo of setting up QEMU and Virt-Manager on an Intel i7-8500 Nuc running the latest Linux Mint (22.3 Zena);
# This is just the general setup, starting with a normal of
# Linux Mint 22.3 (Zena) (The bestest of desktop Linux)
sudo apt install etckeeper git tig -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt autoremove -y
sudo apt install -y openssh-server mc neovim vlc chromium
sudo reboot
# This is the install of virt-manager, qemu, libvirt, etc...
sudo apt install virt-manager
# Add your own user group to the groups kvm, libvert, libvirt-qemu, and
# libvirt-dnsmasq. If you aren't sure, replace sysadmin below with the
# output of the command 'id -ng'
sudo usermod -a -G kvm sysadmin
sudo usermod -a -G libvirt sysadmin
sudo usermod -a -G libvirt-qemu sysadmin
sudo usermod -a -G libvirt-dnsmasq sysadmin
sudo reboot
# When you log back in, you should be able to run virt-manager to
# create VMs for fun and profit!
