On work computer, I use qemu to run arch & sid qcow2 vms, with whpx acceleration you get near native performance
For networking
You can use open vpn tap and a bridge to access guest from host
This is obviously not ideal if you don’t have 8gb ram and don’t want linux gui
With a wm like dwm and firefox running qemu takes up about 1.5gb ram
