I'd recommend going with NixOS and libvirt, but other communities such as around unRAID or Arch might be bigger.

Can you describe your current setup(HW/OS)?

  i7-3770 (no K), ATI GPU, Gigabyte B75-D3V board. I boot into NixOS without X server and launch a Windows VM with libvirt using this config (redacted a bit). https://gist.github.com/xaduha/226ff1b991bd54db09ff0bbd1df79314 https://gist.github.com/xaduha/226ff1b991bd54db09ff0bbd1df79... snapshot=on option allows me to discard changes to the image with every launch, folders like Desktop, Downloads, etc are not part of the image. When I do need to keep the changes I use a commit command, not mucking with actual snapshots anymore. $ virsh qemu-monitor-command MAIN --hmp commit all As for macOS VM, I haven't used one recently, but it's totally possible.
