   The kernel module probably is already loaded or else you can load it with   
   modprobe. I'm surprised the instructions don't include editing   
   libvirtd.conf.   
      
   Even the Intel processor on my 15 year old netbook supports virtualization   
   so that shouldn't be a problem, although it might be turned off in the   
   bios.   
      
   The instructions for different distros is about the same although the   
   packages that add qemu, virt-manager, and so forth might have different   
   names. Fedora 43 makes it easy -- 'sudo dnf install @virtualization'.   
      
   We used to use xen on a HA server but it switched to kvm. The support   
   people didn't miss xen. It did amuse me that the sysadmins that refused to   
   use Linux didn't know their Windows Server VMs were running on Red Hat.
