kvm-qemu-virtualization-guide VS quickemu

Also, I do remember that OVMF was buggy at the time, so I had to install a custom version for OVMF. Here are the necessary steps if you still need to do it (yes, it was only that): https://github.com/mateussouzaweb/kvm-qemu-virtualization-guide/commit/bba74a15a32fa89d783b57e977db5ff5bcd7a0d6

If you are using Fedora, I would recommend following my guide: https://github.com/mateussouzaweb/kvm-qemu-virtualization-guide

If you are interested, I have been maintaining a guide for it (https://github.com/mateussouzaweb/kvm-qemu-virtualization-guide), but there are many others guides on internet on that subject if you look into virtualization with QEMU/KVM...

Since I am experienced with bash scripts because of my work, I wrote one single hook script to rule all the needs that are common posted here like Single GPU passthrough, CPU scaling and USB redirection. Here is the link for my guide: https://github.com/mateussouzaweb/kvm-qemu-virtualization-guide

Tl;Dr use quickemu: https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu

There's also quickgui to help with launching VMs: https://github.com/quickgui/quickgui

(I've been using it for annual chores on windows)

Multipass is pretty clutch for trivial VMs on MacOs for sure. I use it for a bunch of ssh jump boxes running vpns to different sites. The macOS build does not support custom images (lest not without [some truly insane hacks](https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/1260#issuecomm...) , which doesn’t really matter for what I use it for but it is kind of a bummer. If you need something with a little more grunt but don’t want to go full blown with writing your own QEMU tooling or fussing with something like UTM or Parallels, [quickemu](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu) is a really nice qemu wrapper with sane defaults that can expose a whole lot of power if you need it.

Overall, don't be afraid to switch distro (use Ventoy, load a few ISOs just in case), try to make sure you have an easy way of backing up your stuff (be it with a separate /home partition, or like I do with storing everything important in a separate drive and then using symlink to make it 'appear' in their 'default' places), and you can always use VM in a pinch (consult this guide or use quickemu or gnome-boxes)

In case some things you do absolutely needs Windows, keep this guide for setting up VM in mind, or use quickemu's GUI.

VM will be shutdown automatically when it's inactive for a while. I will eventually add more distros going forward. Most distro isos are downloaded using the quickget script from the wonderful quickemu project. You may directly contribute to the upstream project to get the distro added to DistroSea.

If you want to do this super easily, check out the QuickEmu project with the QuickGUI: https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu

Looks great! Does anyone know how Virter compare with quickemu?
