for the semantically inquisitive folk.
It's worth noting if you are using this on an arm device, this isn't a "virtualization VM" any more, as you are using the emulator backend, so this is far closer to a traditional emulator then anything else.
While the term virtual machine is extremely poorly defined, it could still apply.
also TCG is as slow as molasses, it's a good demo, not actually usable for much, at least unless it's a super beefy phone.
I might switch to aarch64 to see if it is faster. However, you are right about the slowness. It isn't bad but it is slow.
Looks like it's an x86_64 kernel though? So this is a VM - it's not running as a paravirtualised system, it's having to emulate everything from the CPU up?
Exactly
I'm running this on a phone running termux
Neat! What are you doing on the vm?
Running neofetch
Based.
Interesting running it in QEMU. If possible, it might be better to use a container if the host kernel supports this because performance and resource consumption should both be significantly improved.
However, an emulator provides great flexibility I'll give you that.
I find pretty cool that I can run a x86_64 VM on my phone. Remember it is full machine so I can run actual containers.
Cool! how's the performance?
Slow...
I think it might be better to use aarch64 for the guest. I'll have to play around
I imagine it runs much more nicely than UTM SE on iOS. I was never able to get UTM JIT to work.
Honestly, I want to jump ship from Apple, but I'm not in a position to do so at this time.
A locked down ecosystem is not exactly good for hacking. Apple aggressively blocks outside software
Precisely. Spoken like a true 25% Vulcan.
This is cool but how long did this take to install? Would Linux phone OSes be better?
A few minutes. I used the cloud image
Better than i thought. Thank you for sharing.
