Virtio is also great for Windows VM's on QEMU - download the virtio from redhat / fedora sites and install on the windows GUEST (or when creating the Virtual disk(s) for the Windows system)/ Using Virtio also for networking speeds up network I/O as well.Ĭreating Windows virtual machines using virtIO drivers :: Fedora Docs Site On virt-manager however I always get an access denied (VHD or QCOW2 on second disk added in storage pool) since the program/user has no access on mouted volume ( qemu - KVM can't access qcow2 images storend on an external HDD - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange), stuff I still need to figure out the next time I tend to setup a Linux host for virtualization. On Hyper-V, I use to put all the VM disks on a second drive, not on the system one, and it works flawlessly launching any VM. I had an issue on virt-manager with access to virtual disk files on a second drive, which was mounted. So on a Linux host you have KVM/QEMU as the better choice anyway.įor the GUI you use virt-manager, I believe. No need for 3D acceleration in the VM in most cases here, since it was a PITA between most systems on VBox anyway. I find Hyper-V faster than Virtualbox these days, for the core stuff that runs. I need fedora though to install a "Home" SAP development test system - it probably could install on Arch but it's a big job - whereas the install works for Red Hat, CENTOS, FEDORA,OPENSUSE and I think Ubuntu.
I actually like using KVM/QEMU for VM's on Linux Hosts - Windows VM's work fine. With Arch you can install as much or as little as you like unlike a lot of other distros - if you use the AUR things like VMWare are compiled / installed correctly with the relevant kernel modules !!! I tried Fedora 33 in a VM first, pretty interesting changes with BTRFS and kernel 5.9.8.īut to use it as host, I need more linux practice, I'm on a Windows-baked laptop and I got some nasty uefi grub2 issues on NVIDIA gpu, boot menu was way too slow so I thought the driver might be the issue, topic for another thread.Hi thereįedora 33 is fine - but don't try installing VMWare on it as a host as the headers are at level 5.9.7 while kernel is at 5.9.8 - can be "poodlefaked" to work but it's a pain/
