Virt manager is the least intuitive (discounting actively antiuser crap) program I've ever dealt with. I still don't quite get it and I've used Linux exclusively for more than 5 years.

GUI might not be as powerful, but in my experience, it's similarly non-intuitive as alternatives, such as VirtualBox / UTM (macOS) / VMware Fusion/Player.

For anything more complex (e.g. GPU passthrough) you will need to drop into manually modifying XML files.

Did you use the desktop or the CLI utility?

(user group setting issue is a common hiccup)

It pretty much just automates the standard Qemu/kvm setup workflows. =3
