As a VirtualBox user (wrt to other posts about it being slow), it "just works" and lets me use Linux in Windows or Linux casually, and Windows in Linux or Windows casually, without any real necessary performance target. I have a 5GHz box with 32GB fast low latency ram, maybe I just don't notice.

Does there exist any alternative to VirtualBox that will run MacOS run on non-mac hardware? After performing the low-level settings changes in VirtualBox I managed to boot up an instance of macOS without any problems but then I switched to a Ryzen CPU and of course macOS now dies during boot.

Another benefit of KVM that's often overlooked is that unlike VMware and VirtualBox, it doesn't require any third-party kernel drivers on the host system. So you can have module.sig_enforce enabled (a huge security plus) and it's generally extremely stable.

Good for you, but I was replying to uid313 who wanted to download a distro from a list and load it up directly. AFAIK, you can't do that with Virt Manager, but you can do that with GNOME Boxes, hence why I recommended it to him.
