If you want to experiment with multi-booting in Linux (for example, see this other post), you might want to consider experimenting with a virtual machine. In this blog post, I’ll show you how to install two Linux distributions on the same KVM virtual machine. I’ll use Fedora 40 and EndeavourOS Gemini. Make sure you download […]
I have already blogged in the past about kvm/qemu. Using the “Virtual Machine Manager” might not be straightforward initially. I’ve heard about Quickemu, which has this goal: Quickly create and run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux desktop virtual machines. In this blog post, I’m describing my experience with quickemu in Arch. The package is available […]
I tried the KDE Plasma 6 (beta) by using the KDE Neon Unstable Edition. This is a quick report. I tried that in a KVM virtual machine. I had to disable 3d graphics, or the installer showed an empty Window. Here’s the live environment where I started the installer: Note that it uses the Wayland […]
Last year, I blogged about my first experiences with KVM and Virtual Machine Manager. Then, I stopped using KVM because I’ve always found VirtualBox easier for my experiments. In particular, with VirtualBox, it is trivial to store virtual machines on an external drive (I mean, a fast external SD, of course): you specify to use […]
After playing with VirtualBox (see my posts), I’ve decided to try also KVM (based on QEMU) and Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager). The installation is straightforward. In Ubuntu systems:
|
1 |
sudo apt install virt-manager bridge-utils |
In Arch-based systems:
|
1 |
sudo pacman -S virt-manager qemu edk2-ovmf |
Then, you need to add your user to the corresponding group:
|
1 2 |
sudo adduser ${USER} libvirt sudo adduser ${USER} libvirt-qemu |
Reboot, and you’re good to go. In this post, I’m […]
