Is it possible to run a Windows 11 Virtual Machine on Linux?
Or you can just add a virtual tpm device in virt-manager while setting up the vm using swtpm. It seems to ha e packages on most major distro's.

Creating a Qemu Windows 10 VM on Linux
If you want Windows 11 instead for whatever reason, swtpm can emulate a TPM chip for QEMU to use.

Work Revived On Parallel CPU Bring-Up To Boot Linux Faster On Large Systems/Servers
You can find the source of software TPM implementations which abide to the official spec such as: https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm but that has no real bearings on the TPM used on real hardware

Windows 11's current .iso file not working on qemu.
I install swtpm and in virt-manager add a TPM 2.0 emulated device and set the secure boot image before I install. This seems to work well enough.

Ryzen 7 [email protected], 32 GB RAM... I'm officially ditching Windows
I don't know either, but apparently Microsoft didn't guarantee that 'unsupported' systems would continue to receive system updates. I just use a QEMU VM and swtpm.

TPM using qemu?
This should work: https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm/wiki
-
Tpm simulator?
Linux has several TPM emulators. This one is probably the most popular. But here's another for TPM 1.2 only. The main use-case is to emulate TPMs for use with Virtual Machine guests.

swtpm-localca exit with status 256:
Other GitHub posts from previous versions seem to have the issue described here but maybe I missed something, https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm/issues/572 I'm on an arch install and just installed it from pacman.

C++ Exit-Time Destructors
Only in trivial cases. The problem is when another part of the program holds a function pointer (eg callback) into the library which has been unloaded.
libvirt has long been linked with -Wl,nodelete to avoid this:

Using baremetal Asahi Linux (Ubuntu) on M1 Mac Minis for homelab
So, next I setup cockpit and cockpit-machines, which works to create VMs (via cockpit-machines) but they use tcg/qemu i.e. emulation and no KVM based h/w acceleration - my test VMs were very slow! I figured out while qemu+KVM works on command line, it doesn't work and the culprit was libvirt! After discussing with the good folks on #asahi channel and with tobhe (Ubuntu-Asahi creator), I gathered enough evidence to conclude libvirtd doesn't know the "right" qemu commands to exec and logged my findings to the libvirt project https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/365 (which can probably use some of the community noise, to expedite the fix).

How to fix onboard Intel Bluetooth Error Code 10 on Windows guest
The issue stems from a change in libvirt. Libvirt is responsible for parsing all your VM's XML and turning it into a QEMU command. Somewhere between libvirt version 6.6 and version 6.9, there was a slight change in the way USB devices are passed to QEMU, and obviously libvirt followed suit. As a result, some USB passthrough configurations, such as the MacOS one in the thread, as well as the onboard bluetooth for windows suffered errors.
