        Ok so I guess I am the stupid because I always assumed kernel-level virtualization meant that you were limited to guest OS’s that used the Linux kernel. I was drawing incorrect connections to Docker

        TIL

          Yeah virtualization and containers are very different things. That said virt-manager can be used with LXC as well :)

        For XP, the machine KVM presents as may be too new, but that isn’t an issue with non-virtualized QEMU.

          I think it should work with some version of the Q35 chipset, if not PC should work. But Wine might be a better option if you just want to run some old version of office (or frankly just use LibreOffice)
