Comment on [Discussion] - What are some niche applications / use cases you've gotten working on your deck?

How did you do it, if you don’t mind me asking? Like did you follow a guide or is there a specific app you used? 🙂

Yep, initially tried to setup virtual box as I’m more familiar there but could not for the life of me get around install errors. After setting the OS to read-write installing virt manager was pretty straight forward; the only real hiccup I had was that I needed to install win-fsp on the guest os before installing guest additions like virtio-fs which allowed me to add the shared folder between host/guest.

Ah gotcha, didn’t realize virt manager was the name of the VM tool. I’ll have to give it a shot sometime, seems cool!

Yep iirc virt manager is just a gui front end for qemu though imo certainly makes it easier to manage the vm’s
