[Feature Request]: Add VM installation into Linutil #1077

Description

@bungadrum

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Can you add the option to install Virtual Machines directly from Linutil?

Describe the solution you'd like

In Linutil there could be a VM category when you enter it there would be Virtual Machine apps that you can directly install. Things like Gnome Boxes Flatpak since it has all dependencies, Virtual Box, VM workstation and QEMU which is the hardest one to install.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Adding qemu-kvm, libvirt-daemon-system,bridge-utils, libvirt and kvm packages for virtualization if your system doesn't have them installed by default. Also adding Karton KDE's version of Gnome boxes when it becomes available it's still not out

Additional context

To check if your machine supports virtualization maybe you could add "egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo" that can return the value directly into Linutil that way you know if you need to enable it in your BIOS before you download anything.
