[NTLUG:Discuss] Quickemu - Quickly create and run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux virtual machines

[Matthew Shrewsbury]

I wanted to share Quickemu as I found it very helpful to me when I was testing Linux distros. Quickemu allows you to quickly create a VM with just about any OS you want. It downloads the OS for you so it is really easy to use. They claim nearly 1000 OSes are supported...I have not tried them all, just yet.

I've settled on Kubunto 24.04 LTS for desktop OS but it is nice to be able to spin up anything in a matter of minutes as a VM. Of course, you can always spin up a VM but this just makes it stupid easy.
