It's been extremely rare that I need to use any documentation for it
and
only because I'm trying to do something unusual. Normally, it just
works with no problems. Run virt-manager to get started.
Just one example: using only the libvirt docs and virt-manager GUI
(which appears to be essentially
undocumented, https://virt-manager.org/ being largely useless), try
figuring out how to share files between host and guest. Compare this
with the instructions for VirtualBox.
