I ended up running raw qemu after not being able to get several front-ends to work properly (I know I tried aqemu, probably gkvm, possibly virtualbricks). None of the ones I tried was self-explanatory, and I figured that if I was going to have to read a bunch of documentation anyway, I might as well drop back to the command line and be assured of full control. If you want easy virtualization from a GUI, your best bet is VirtualBox. > PS: > This was my original question, before I realized, asking about a front end was > a better choice.

The dependencies list for this program is more than 20 packages long and includes GTK3 stuff, Webkit, Vala stuff, polkit, qemu, libvirt, Spice, and a few other odds and ends. Interestingly, it doesn't seem to want much of Gnome, just gconf, gnome-common, and one or two other bits that might be optional. > A side excursion, trying to figure out B), lead me to Flatpak[1].

Not innately evil, but avoid if possible, like the other multi-distro installer "solutions". E.
