I installed QEMU. Clicked Start, then went to All Programs and launched QEMU. Nothing happened. Did some chores around the house and came back. Still nothing. Came back to it today and checked. Nothing, nada. Uninstalled and clicked VirtualBox and my good old UI opened and ran my virtual Windows 7 and everything worked perfectly.
This was the first video that I was disappointed with the product, not Chris or the video. I'm sure someone out there knows how to use only the mouse to make this work. BTW, I'm an old Amiga user and don't believe the keyboard should exist. If this requires some use of the keyboard then I'm out.
Still giving a thumbs up for the video! Thanks, Chris.

I want to use the Virtual Machine Manager to learn to install Arch. I currently have the Virtual Machine Manager installed on ArcoLinux. I was able to get the Arch image to run in the VM, but I can't paste into the Arch install command line from Brave (Arch install instructions). Does anyone know how to paste from your main machine into the VM? I don't see a shared clipboard setting. I see forum posts about Spice, but still new to Linux and didn't see a solution that made sense to me.

Thanks for the setup video. I've been trying out Gnome boxes as well as QEMU to compare to the Vbox installs I usually use. Launch is faster, but overall performance of VBox seems pretty good once launch is done. The biggest hurdle for me in QEMU is dealing with shared folders. Very awkward compared to VBox GUI setup. I'm not a CLI guy, so it's tough. If there was something like Virt-Managers USB mounting GUI, that would be a great improvement.

I think I'll stick with VirtualBox; it doesn't require a service be constantly running or any of that networking stuff. VirtualBox is straight-forward as well. I do wish VirtualBox were't so graphically choppy, but for the most part, it does what I need it do in a way which is familiar to me, so I'll stick with it. Hopefully they'll push some decent updates to it, some day.

Definitely a noob, but it would be great if you took an extra second or two to highlight some simple critical steps. Like...how to actually start qemu to use it. Ran through all your steps, no icons, no way of starting it up, doesn't show up in the software manager or anything. Checked that it installed, but that was the end of the road, couldn't use it beyond that.

You said that QEMU's version for Windows is not good compared to the Linux version. Can you explain why? Is that just because of the changes they surely had made to fit the program for Windows? How would this affect the performance of the program?
Thanks for the video!

strange, I thought linux/linux generally using docker now. People emulate linux from windows using virtualbox ... I don't know qemu can use the same way... linux/linux is no use for most general office worker, which using windows as main os because sw compatibllity issue ...

Can you please ellaborate on which package is which and what does each package does so I can find the respective packages on Manjaro? The names in the video are only for Debian based distros, and as you know the names don't always match.

I-ve used VirtualBox for a long time and it works just fine, whether it-s for study labs or a Kali Linux vm for network scanning. If I really need great performance then I just put it on a real platform like VMWare or Hyper-v.
