Friends don't let friends expose #usb devices to their #qemu guests, especially when #virtio is right there. The usb sub-system is one of our older ones and is currently Orphaned will all the security implications that entails. We don't need more #llm driven vulnerability scanning - we need maintainers who know the problem domain taking the reigns.

#Xen: What is the minimal hardware we need to emulate to get a VM? We might need to customise/change the operating system.

qemu(+kvm): Let's emulate the full PC with mainboard and all chipsets and everything. Damn that is slow. Lets reinvent optimised virtual hardware in the #VirtIO project.
