This video regarding Quickemu is excellent. I have always used VirtualBox and just recently tried "Boxes". While they are both excellent VM managers there is a lot of addons and tweaks that need to be done make them run efficiently but after looking at quick EMU, I pretty much want to throw those other two into the recycle bin and give this a go. It seems simple to install and I can be up and running in minutes which is great for me since I do custom app development work for my company. Really appreciate your videos. I am learning something new everyday which makes me enjoy my job even more. Thanks again and have a Merry Christmas Chris! Aloha!
@@rethinking3289 I agree with you but at the same time it’s his RUclips he can do whatever he wants also how do you know he could download his videos after he saves them to his useful playlist
Thanks a ton for covering this. I have battled off and on with qemu/virtmanager for years and its like 50/50 whether I can successfully run well optimized vms with it. It was to the point I was going back to virtualbox for simplicity's sake. This made it so much easier!
Gnome Boxes is another really quick app for spining up VMs. It not only offers automatic image downloads, but also automatic OS installation. It can even install Windows for you.
Yes, it's close to Christmas, and yes, there are a lot of disto's installed BUT this video can't possibly top the Arch installation after the Christmas party - best of the season to you sir!
Hardware acceleration, specifically 3D and Graphics is what most want. The only way I've accomplished this is to passthrough an entire Video card, which is not trivial as all modern MacOS spins past High Sierra, require AMD Cards. I'd recommend a RX 580 as it seems to have good compatibility and is the easiest to setup. I spent the better part of 10 hours getting a RX 5700XT working and it suffers from a bug that causes the card to not be recognized by the host after a single VM boot.
This is awesome. I am in and out of vms all day and this is a great upgrade from what linux had to offer before. Because linux was so clunky with vms i would host on a windows box with hyperv and sometimes wsl. Very interested in trying this out. Its like Christmas came early.
This would have to be one of the best ways for newbies who are discovering Linux to discover and find out ojn their own what distros that they most enjoy to use, and even more, for them to build their own when their day comes!
What a GR8 find... 4 others trying this out... Remember;... keep in mind it will take considerably longer;... unless U have a super fast set up like Chris... Here this side of the Pond;... it took a respectable 30 minuets 2 try out kubuntu-22.10 & then I messed up where 2 save it... ROFL
Nice video,. Here are a couple of questions. Does it include Windows Server images as well? Can you upload your own image or you just have to select from the available ones? Is qemu gest agent already pre installed on both windows and linux VMs?
I was very interesting in this stuff. First i tried to install this on Debian-testing. I gave up, i had a lot of priblems. Then i install ubuntu again on a free partitiln on tried it and it worked very fine. Now i had some problem with testing macos but i will try it tomorrow. It is is a great channel you have. Merry Cristmas from Sweden
08:15 I'm still waiting for the answer to this question: What username are we using? That's the one thing I'm kind of curious about? 😄 Thank you for your great content 💥
Hi, Chris. Many thanks for your support. One question, how to configure IP in virtual machines? I know how to do it in VirtualBox. My problem is with QEMU.
Great video! Thank you for showing the power of Quickemu. I'm curious if you have a video that demonstrates the software you use to remote into all your systems?
I installed Quickemu on Linux Mint: Ubuntu Mate and Elementary OS VM's do run, no problems here, but Mac High Sierra and Windows 10 do NOT start up. Any idea what's wrong? I would really appreciate a response :)
New version of WSL with Nest Virtualization and WSLg advancements makes it possible. I'll set this up on a test box and see if I can't do a video on it.
Great Question, you will see degraded performance running it through WSL, but you need to look at something called "Nested Virtualization" with WSLg. This will help get you near native performance. I'll do a video on it as QEMU is my favorite Hypervisor.
@@kevinDesRoches-vq1xe You should be able to save documents, install programs, etc. and they'll be there when you stop / start the VM again. If that doesn't happen for you, I'm guessing you're running the installation .iso every time, instead of the VMs virtual hard drive. In Quickgui it's as simple as pressing "Manage existing machines" instead of "Create new machines"
Could you make a video showing us how to install this on Debian, please, because it seems to be a long and hard way to get it to work? Thank you in advance!
Yeah I would appreciate some guidance on how to do this on Debian as well! I am running Linux Mint, I think it might require some additional configuration! Thanks for the great videos, Chris!
Chris, are you telling us the whole story or, are you forgetting to mention what computer build your using. All I have to say is, "More, more and more!" I'm so impressed, I set this link to my desktop then forgot to click "Like", so went back clicked Like, edited my reply again and wrote, a kid goes into a candy shop and doesn't know what to get, that's exactly what your videos do to us, "I don't know what I want to start on first!"
One point that I think you skipped was the need for resources of the host computer. Clearly insufficient resources to share around would result in the system being sluggish. Any recommendations?
good morning cris and happy christmas holidays, thank you for all you do. I wanted to ask if you can afre a video how to improve gaming pc performance. Not having the option to buy a gaming PC would be very helpful for me. thanks and merry christmas
Awesome, it works really well for me, however when I tried to install windows nothing comes up in the list. Is there something I am missing or did they remove the ISO, because of Microsoft's demands?
Hi Chris! Merry Christmas! Can you give us a Debian guide for this? I followed the instructions, looked up possible solutions on Github, but I cant get all 3 parts running together - Qemu, Quickemu, Quickgui. I'm running SolydX XFCE Debian testing.
It depends on how you handle the dual boot. I used to have a Windows and Ubuntu dual boot and it generally worked fine (however, keep in mind that Windows update can potentially break dual boot setups). If you want the most stable dual boot, I've heard using separate drives for Linux and Windows help
Oops I only had to leave quickmu and delete that directory all ok now Just I can not get the quickmu box to click to darkmode for some reason but everything else is fine now Chris
I keep getting a pop up box asking connect to spice with a host name and port when trying to open windows vm or any vm with quickgui. I need this to work badly. Please help
Ensure to enable Intel Virtualization Tech (or SVM on AMD) in your BIOS. If BIOS is updated, this setting may reset to Disabled, so verify all settings after BIOS updates.
Hmmm... installed QEMU and QuickGUI fine on Mint Vanessa but Spice fails to connect to the Windows VM, asking for a TLS port to make the display connection. Anyone have any ideas? Google isn't very forthcoming. Cheers!

having this in combo with virt manager for more advanced stuff is great

"holy smokes, yeah!" stop being so wholesome
I have it through quickgui when downloading it hangs on "Preparing the download" And quickemu says when there is not enough RAM
At 1:45 You missed a chance to say, "we could have dragged this out into a 30 minute demo but we're not doing that, because it's QUICK emu"

I'm stunned! Wow just WOW! Thanks!
Can we get this quickemu ui for windows?
New version of WSL with Nest Virtualization and WSLg advancements makes it possible. I'll set this up on a test box and see if I can't do a video on it.
@@ChrisTitusTechdid you ever get it working?
Thanks Chris you're always great 👍
Chris, how do change the amount of RAM, storage, cores etc... that are allocated?
Not spending a whole day downloading windows? This is godtier wizardry
Always new and very practical. Thank you very much for all your efforts.
can i setup it in windows ?
Great Question, you will see degraded performance running it through WSL, but you need to look at something called "Nested Virtualization" with WSLg. This will help get you near native performance. I'll do a video on it as QEMU is my favorite Hypervisor.
So the VMs are destroyed when you quit? Can you save them permanently?
They are saved permanently by default.
@@pathologicusmaximus I am no cpu wiz but they are not persistent are they, like when restarting you have to configure virtual disto at least I do ?

That is pretty rad. I am going to hop on my linux laptop and mess around :P
dang, might try this for dev operations instead of virtualbox
Can you show us something for Windows, too? I tried the QEMU because of your recent video but it doesn't work on my machine. Thanks
This is fantastic - I hallucinate - Very Good - Thanks Chris

Edit: Manage to do it with nix package manager.
Great as always!
It's possible I missed it, but once you install and run, is it persistent?
Nice, Chris your next mission, if you accept it will be to make us a report on casa OS operating on a ARM hardware basis. thx in advance.

Hi Chris! Could you please make a video on modern GPU passthrough to QEMU virtual machines?
Great content, and gotta check out quickemu
One point that I think you skipped was the need for resources of the host computer. Clearly insufficient resources to share around would result in the system being sluggish. Any recommendations?
How do I download it into my machine? I'm running Linux Uabuntu with the Mate desktop. I want to use this program but I don't know how to use github.
Thanks for the selection. What do I need to do now? BTW: Any comment on resources as suspect my machine may be under powered
Is this meant for basic mundane tasks or could you push for gaming?
Does it give you access to the VM xml so that we can convert the same VM into a GPU passthrough VM by just editing the XML?
Currently using vagrant to manage these types of things, but this looks great! I'll have to give it a try.
good morning cris and happy christmas holidays, thank you for all you do. I wanted to ask if you can afre a video how to improve gaming pc performance.
Not having the option to buy a gaming PC would be very helpful for me. thanks and merry christmas
commenting for the algorithm
The video is great! I use to use Virtualbox but QEmu is so much better. The only issue with this app is that Windows download is not working.
Awesome, it works really well for me, however when I tried to install windows nothing comes up in the list. Is there something I am missing or did they remove the ISO, because of Microsoft's demands?
Looks like a cool utility. Fwiw... The easy way is arch.
Yes, very painless to install using sudo pacman -S quickemu quickgui. Dependencies all taken care of!
Amazing, thank your for this cool app. But, I dont see windows in the list :(
I would like this on windows
This is just AWESOME!
Hi. Are you still suggesting quickemu for fast Windows 11 virtuals machines on Linux?
now the question i am left with is, can you add looking glass or other pci passthrough methods with this for a "gaming" windows vm ?
Does it offer 3d acceleration for 3D programs and maybe some games?
Can't get Windows running in Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon. No problems with Zorin download and installation.
Did it take awhile to download took me at 20mins or so
Is there something besides portainer for docker, this is still very useful thanks

Not a video related question, but I'm interested in Pop! OS and giving Linux a shot.
Is dual booting Windows 11 and Pop! OS problem free?

If you want the most stable dual boot, I've heard using separate drives for Linux and Windows help
@@grantsgamesandtech312 I was going to stop and pick up another SSD and install Pop! OS on that drive. Keep Windows and Linux on separate SSDs.
This is a PITA to install in any other distro but ubuntu.
Made for Linux! waiting for the windows version then..
Thank you so much fur 60 FPS!
Pretty cool but can it do gpu passthrough?
Hey titus why you dont talk about distrobox is amazing how you could deploy linux distributions on containers
Thanks, very useful
Can Quickemu and Virtualbox both be running on one PC at the same time?
I hope this can be ported to MacOS as well.
I'm sure it's fine but I'm a new user to Linux. Can we trust all those commands to put into the terminal? Is this open source?
this is still considered as a type 2 hypervisor right?
You made me a follower. I like your style, subjects, and production quality. But if you add a boom boom music track I'm gone.
And you still didn't show how to share folders between host and guest.
Maybe in the 3'd one about QEMU
I get E: Unable to locate package swtpm on Ubuntu 20.04. Any suggestions? This looks really cool!!
Please tell me is it still type 1 hypervisor or type 2 hypervisor
Can we do gpu pass through in quickemu?
Oops I only had to leave quickmu and delete that directory all ok now Just I can not get the quickmu box to click to darkmode for some reason but everything else is fine now Chris
