From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don’t agree. I’m pretty sure Virtualbox has its own weird kernel module instead of KVM.
In addition, I’m pretty sure the the Virt Manager GUI has most of those features and is in general pretty easy to use.
We're talking about someone who wants to know how to easily distro-hop. That's not an expert level user. Have you tried unmounting an iso image from a virt-manager VM? Yes, that's how bad virt-manager is as a user-facing GUI.
Yes, I've unmounted an ISO image plenty of times. The button, in my opinion, isn't that hard to find.
I figured out how to use virt-manager when I was 15 years old, it's not as hard as it seems.
