Is there a friendly alternative to VMWare/Virtualbox? I would move back to Virtualbox, but it's now owned by oracle

Libvirt/qemu with either virt-manager or cockpit to control them. Alternatively there are various wrapper projects for qemu that hide the complex command line from you.

Learn the command line. Embrace the command line.

And thank you I’ll check them out when I finally switch back

Oh I don't mind it too much but I have a rich shell history 😀

Certainly when using the newer options things are more consistent easy to follow. However it's reputation for complexity isn't underserved because Qemu is very flexible in what it can do.
