This might sound silly, but I installed virt-manager to make things a little easier when using qemu, then created a new virtual machine with debian 12 on it... then installed qemu on that.
The actual reason for this is to make github account separation a little easier...
If you get virt-manager set up properly, it definitely makes using qemu easier, though. I practically just had to tell it to make a new virtual machine using this iso with this much memory and this big of a hard drive, and it was right at the debian install screen. (Set it up with xfce...).
Main tricky parts were that I had to install libvirt first, make myself a member of the libvirt user group, enable the service, and install dnsmasq. Not great, but could've been worse...
Used debian on the virtual box just for a little variety. I like to keep my hand in on different distributions a bit.
@SweetAIBelle makes sende tho you propably just went "hard mode" with QEMU/KVM.
There's a reason why I'd likely just use #ProxMox or even #ESXi instead, tho that's only because I've to deal woth these professionally and developed some speed at using them, not necessarily because it's the best approach.
It's kinda like Simon Smith using #SCORE vs. @tantacrul using #Sibelius:
Have you ever installed a musical or #fx plug-in?
Are you not a #ProTools or #Sibelius user?
If this sounds like you, you may find anywhere from a few hundred MB to several GB of unwanted AAX plug-ins used by #Avid just hanging around on your system like a bad smell.
I'd check just in case. #Mac: /Library/Application Support/Avid. #Windows: Program Files\Common Files\Avid.
I found 2GB on my Mac and deleted them, but every 6 months or so I check again and due to updates from companies such as #NativeInstruments, #Arturia, #SoundToys, #Roland etc, they come back.
Very few manufacturers allow you to turn off installing certain types of plug-in, so it's worth keeping an eye on these.

There was a time when I loved working by computer. But apps are so dodgy it's hard to get anything done reliably. MS Word constantly flashes extraneous page thumbnails & bits of garbage as I compose. Warns me it can't sync with cloud then it can. So distracting. Adobe rushes out updates that mess up so bad I spend a day fixing it. Chrome & any apps relying on it crash continuously. Can I go back to buying software & have it run w/o the cloud. I hate this future. #technology#rant
Hier ist ein Totalausfall der Microsoft-Sicherheit beschrieben, ausgenutzt durch russische Hacker. Auch NGOs sollen angegriffen worden sein. Da könnte man ja eigentlich vorschlagen, die Datenkraken zu löschen und gut?
@composers
I'm scoring in #Sibelius, and using the #Noteperformer sounds for playback. Overall, the instrumental sounds are surprisingly good, and even the vocal sounds are tolerable, though of course they don't sound like humans singing words. (I don't think there's any solution for the spoken parts.)
