This sounds like you're just looking for *some* way to run a VM.  Forgive me if you've been asked before, but why not use the solution built in to Fedora? QEMU/KVM do a great job and using virt-manager  or GNOME Boxes is easy.

I can point you to some documentation or help in a dedicated thread if you are interested.
