    But QEMU definitely lacks a GUI config tool that is both easy to use and allows for advanced features like snapshots.

    Let me say it louder for the people in the back: https://virt-manager.org/

    It literally does everything you mentioned, including allowing you to edit the XML files manually to reach advanced or obscure features that are not exposed.

      Last time I tried Virt manager, I couldn’t figure out bridge networks and ended up corrupted the XML config for the VM. Skill issue for me I guess

        im a networking idiot so apologies if this doesnt work for your needs

        if you leave the NAT virtual NIC and add a 2nd one, type MACVTAP, make device name your real NIC (ento1 for me).

        Now you can access guest on your host and on other LAN devices without needing a bridge

        (Spent yesterday figuring this out)
