The standard session requires root, and for some reason this means that VMs couls harm your system more or something
VMs don’t have access to the host, so even if the virtual machine emulator Qemu and libvirt require root access, the encapsulated guest virtual machine have no access to the host. They can’t harm your system.
Yup VMs dont get access to the system. Unless there is a vulnerability.
For doing malware testing etc, qemu user sessions might be preferred.
You can just use RPM/DEB virt-manager and switch to the QEMU user session anyways. If you dont need some advanced stuff like GPU passthrough (I guess) (USB works) you can use that full time. I do.
