I would like to know some recommended applications that are similar to VirtualBox. I'm using Ubuntu LTS. The reason I don't want to use VirtualBox is because the installation method requires me to add a repository, and I don't want to use unstable repositories to my system. Like last month when I added the Spotify repository and it made APT very slow, so I decided to remove it to make it fast.

Qemu and KVM are both similar to Virtualbox

QEMU (for Quick Emulator) is a free and open-source emulator. It emulates a computer's processor through dynamic binary translation and provides a set of different hardware and device models for the machine, enabling it to run a variety of guest operating systems. It can interoperate with Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) to run virtual machines at near-native speed

See https://www.qemu.org/

KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions.

See https://linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page
