The main issue with virt-manager is that it's a desktop application and you can't really collaborate with others when managing infrastructure. Cockpit solves this issue. The feature set in slightly different but mainly it is limited as to what you can manage. When running different types of infrastructure at the same time, e.g. KVM + AWS + Azure + ... it won't help much. In such cases it would make sense to check out Mist (https://github.com/mistio/mist-ce), which does something similar to Cockpit but for ~20 infra techs.

LXD is indeed nice, but it still isn't very widely adopted. I believe this comes down to 3 main issues: 1) It's strongly connected to Canonical and Ubuntu. This is mostly a matter of perception and it is an actual community project. However, I can understand people not feeling comfortable with "snap install lxd". 2) It sits somewhere in between k8s and docker engine. Over time, it will probably get more k8s-like features but still it is a weird position to be in. 3) It lacks a reach ecosystem of tools supporting it and a web UI. This makes it hard for newcomers to adopt. We're working on a web UI ourselves as part of our open source cloud management platform (https://github.com/mistio/mist-ce) and love to hear your thoughts.
