Research direction

Start with the commented virtualization-tool entries in nix-darwin/hosts/personal-analyst.nix and nix-darwin/hosts/personal.nix. Check how these host configurations declare packages and whether each listed tool is available and supported on the target system. Done means the requested tools are installed and configured in both relevant host files.
