You P2V with any tool to KVM. The tools that manage KVM are unrelated to the P2V tools. I rarely P2V, but you essentially just need something to image the physical box and inject drivers.
Or do what I do... rebuild from scratch so that it is clean.

You could have answered his original question then, and not something irrelevant.
He asked how to P2V, not how to manage.

I've never done a P2V of a Fedora system.

This looks like the best tool from 2 minutes on Google.

I was kinda thinking, might be a good time to try it.
Quick look at the docs say the conversion server can be a vm. -
For now, virt-p2v is a no go.
It does not recognize NVMe like /dev/nvme0n1 -
Reporting back: The only tool that I had success with was https://relax-and-recover.org/
F33 desktop is now p2v'd.
