   It's the sensible solution if you're looking for speed and reliability.

   I've lost track of what you're trying to do. You have a bare metal Linux   
   instance and want to spin up VMs of other distributions to see if they   
   solve your ffmpeg problem?   
      
   Yes, setting up KVM requires a few simple, well documented steps for the   
   particular distro but once that's done you open virt-manager. It's a GUI.   
   You specify the number of cores, RAM, and disk space and point it at the   
   iso. The iso goes through the normal installation and you have a VM. Start   
   and stop it through the manager. Create as many VMs as you want if you   
   have the disk space.
