QEMU

QEMU (which stands for Quick Emulatorhttps://books.google.com/books?id=Zoc0PgWICD0C) is an emulator that replicates the functionality of various hardware devices. It is mostly based around the Linux environment and runs via command line, although several third-party GUI launchers are also available. QEMU provides support for hardware/software-based acceleration, which includes (but is not limited to) KVM, HAXM, WHPX and HVF, and formerly KQEMU.
On Linux, QEMU has multiple graphical user interfaces such as virt-manager, AQEMU, and GNOME Boxes, along with UTM for macOS. 
== Supported guest operating systems ==
* MS-DOS (without HAXM acceleration)
