    Technically no, both use kvm virtualization which is included in the Linux kernal, so both are “bare metal hypervisors” other wise know as class 1 hypervisors. Distinctions can be confusing 😂

        Bare metal is “kernel running on hardware” I think. KVM is a kernel feature, so the virtualization is done in kernel space (?) and on the hardware.

            TL;DR: use what is in the kernel, without strange out of tree kernel modules like for VirtualBox, and use KVM, i.e. on fedora virt-manager qemu qemu-kvm
