Brodie RobertsonEvery time I do a Wayland or Xorg poll, the amount of people using Wayland keeps increasing, there's absolutely still a ton of X11 users but as distros stop shipping Xorg out of the box over the coming years I do wonder how many strict holdouts there really are, and how many are just using Xorg because that's what there distro provides.
Distro's Projects@BrodieOnLinux I’m still stuck with X11 on my desktop since most of the software I use would be running in Xwayland, like VirtualBox which is unusably buggy in Xwayland. I would use QEMU but all the GUI frontends for it *suck*.
Jared (MOVED TO DMV.COMMUNITY)@distrohopper39b @BrodieOnLinux For simplifying QEMU, have you looked at:
* quickemu by wimpy
* quickgui by markxjohnson + ymuary (a GUI front end to quickemu)
They really help make quick work of QEMU deployment.
@ktnjared @distrohopper39b @BrodieOnLinux quickgui doesn’t support any custom oses and quickemu doesn’t support alternative (non-kvm) archs from what i can tell, so its not really usable for what i want to use it for
@distrohopper39b @BrodieOnLinux If that’s the case, I would strongly urge you to learn the CLI QEMU commands. It’s worth the effort and performance gains over VirtualBox alone.
The screenshot is my run script for my PA-RISC HP-UX 11 VM for example. Is not difficult, but can be tedious. But one you get a grip on things, it’s easy to cobble scripts together in short time.
@ktnjared oh i know the command line but it's just a pain to set up and use all the time. i could try to write my own gui frontend (which would incidentally make me very good at the qemu cli)
