Have you tried Gnome Boxes? It's user-friendly Gnome UI for the
'native' virtualization which uses libvirtd and kvm (or qemu if
emulating another architecture).
Or, for more options and configurables, use virt-manager which is
libvirtd's own UI.

Ah, yes:

I gave up on using hibernate ('systemctl hibernate') only because the FAH
GPU task doesn't survive it.
I noticed that ibercivis released a whole load of new tasks. Still no
checkpointing, and some of them take much longer now, 8-9 hours for me.
That's a lot to lose to lack of checkpointing, so I'

There are several things at play I think:
- ibercivis has not implemented checkpointing yet, which means if you
switch the computer off all running tasks lose their progress(!)
- the percentage-completion report seems to be a guess: I see it go up in
10% increments, and sometimes tasks complete ear
I saw some Ibercivis tasks start today.
Thanks for the tip about this project!
