A new version of QuickEMU has been released. QuickEMU is a tool to easily setup virtual machines with QEMU/KVM.
QuickEMU Release 4.1
Quickly create and run highly optimized desktop virtual machines for Linux, macOS and Windows; with just two commands. You decide what operating system you want to run and Quickemu will figure out the best way to do it for you. For example:
quickget ubuntu-mate impish quickemu --vm ubuntu-mate-impish.confThe original objective of the project was to enable quick testing of Linux distributions where the virtual machine configurations can be stored anywhere, such as external USB storage or your home directory, and no elevated permissions are required to run the virtual machines. Quickemu now also includes comprehensive support for macOS and Windows.
