PurpleJillybeans :PrideDisk:<p>Another random <a href="https://kind.social/tags/QEMU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QEMU</span></a> tip:</p><p><a href="https://kind.social/tags/Windows2000" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows2000</span></a> works pretty well under modern versions of QEMU, though not quite as well as WinXP. Try this:</p><p>* Video: vmvga or vmware-svga<br>* Audio: ac97<br>* Net: rtl8139</p><p>Install the video driver from an old VMWare Guest Utilities CD. One from the 3.x or 4.x series should work well. This will give you better video than the Cirrus card that's usually recommended, though you'll still be stuck with 4:3 or 5:4.</p><p>NT4 and earlier are a mess. Use <a href="https://kind.social/tags/86Box" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>86Box</span></a> or <a href="https://kind.social/tags/VirtualBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VirtualBox</span></a> for those.</p>
PurpleJillybeans<a href="https://blog.n8fq.org/social?t=windowsxp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WindowsXP</a> / Server 2003 is still very well-supported on <a href="https://blog.n8fq.org/social?t=qemu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QEMU</a> in 2025. Here are a few random tips:<br><br>* The latest versions of the virtio-win packages have removed the WinXP drivers, but you can still use an older version. The last release to mention XP in the changelog was <a href="https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.132-1/virtio-win-0.1.132.iso" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">0.1.132</a>, so that's a good bet.<br>* In the root of the virtio-win CD, you'll find two .vfd files. Those are floppy images which can be used during the OS installation. Copy the <code>virtio-win-0.1.132_x86.vfd</code> file somewhere handy and attach it to your VM.<br>* Use VirtIO for your hard drive and network, QXL for video, and AC'97 for sound.<br>* When you boot the install CD, hit F6 and choose to load the VirtIO storage driver from the floppy image mentioned above.<br>* Once the OS is installed, download and install the <a href="https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-latest.exe" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">SPICE Guest Tools</a>.<br>* Once that's all done, use <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/users/kirb" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@kirb@hachyderm.io</a></span> 's <a href="http://legacyupdate.net" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Legacy Update</a> to install updates, runtimes, and addons like PowerShell.<br><br>If you're using <a href="https://virt-manager.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">virt-manager</a> or some other libvirt-based frontend, <a href="https://n8fq.org/winxp.xml" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">this XML file</a> should give you a good workable VM setup.

Ariadna Vigo<p>A whole afternoon playing around... ok, no, that's not the word... It's been a whole afternoon banging my head against the wall that libvirt and its cousin virt-manager are.</p><p>I ended up going back to the ol' trusty shell script I use to fire up my FreeBSD and OpenBSD VMs. This is a desktop, not a server, so the VMs are on just for what I need to run on them (mostly checking portability of code I write) and then, they're shut down. No need for a socket listening in the background or a service to do who knows what.</p><p>The thing that really pissed me off was the permissions situation libvirt/libvirt-qemu got me into. I mean... wow, it silently set an ACL entry on my $HOME on its own to unilaterally give itself permissions inside my $HOME. Wow.</p><p><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/libvirt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>libvirt</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/virtualization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>virtualization</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/qemu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>qemu</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/archlinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>archlinux</span></a></p>

Ramin Honary<p><span class="h-card"><a class="u-url mention" href="https://social.linux.pizza/@theDuesentrieb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>theDuesentrieb</span></a></span> I asked for the highest-spec computer the company would buy me (which turned out to be an Apple MacBook M2). I then promptly installed a QEMU-based emulator and installed Debian Linux into the emulator. The emulated disk is fully encrypted. I allow the VM full use of all CPU cores and 100% of all memory and disk space.</p><p>If you do get a Apple computer, I highly recommend you buy <a href="https://mac.getutm.app/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">UTM</a> from the app store, it is by far the most cost-effective option, and works extremely well with Debian Aarch64. Once you install the <code>qemu-guest-agent</code> package onto Linux, the Linux screen resolution will automatically match the <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/macbook" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MacBook</a>, copy-paste works seamlessly between <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> and <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/macos" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MacOS</a>. Desktop environments like <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/cinnamon" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cinnamon</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/xfce" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xfce</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/gnome" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gnome</a>, and <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/kdeplasma" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KDEPlasma</a> all allow you to select <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/hidpi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HiDPI</a> scaling which allows Linux to take full advantage of the <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/apple" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Apple</a> “retina” display (it looks beautiful). The one and only drawback is that <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/qemu" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QEMU</a> cannot use Apple’s hardware multimedia codecs, so it falls back to software codecs, and the CPU just can’t keep up with things like video conferencing, or often even ordinary 720p video playback. I use Mac OS for only multimedia applications and video conferencing. For everything else, I continue to use Linux.</p><p>I recommend the bridge networking adapter so you can have two-way network communications between Linux and MacOS, this allows for file transfer between Mac and Linux via <code>rsync</code>. The trade-off is that every time your Apple computer switches computers networks (e.g. between home and office), you must reset the networking services in Linux. If you choose the NAT network option Linux will always have network access directly via the MacOS interface, but you will not be able to easily transfer files between Mac and Linux.</p><p>The keyboard is the hardest thing to get used to, mostly that “super” and “alt” are swapped. Be sure to transpose those keys in the <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/utm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UTM</a> configuration. It is easy to configure the Apple keyboard to (for example) make caps-lock another control key.</p><p><a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/tech" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/computers" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#computers</a></p>
