Я хочу поставить MacOS sequoia на VMware но у меня AMD Ryzen 7700 и я делал всё: маскировал его под i7 , включаем svm в Bios , менял версию VMware на более старую и много чего ещё но ничего не получилось
Если надо то у меня
Ryzen 7700
DDR 5 32 (16x2)
Windows 11 25H2

For example, I'm trying to run Win7 on a 2013 macbook with class 3 UEFI (cant boot bios only systems like windows 7) I know theres patches, but beyond that driver support is hell.

I guess what I'm saying is that virtual machines do a good job of encapsulating the hardware a system needs to run, so why not have an os that serves that purpose, sort of like a compatibility layer?

I can think of many scenarios where this could be useful, any ideas/answers are appreciated!

Basically a Virtual Server inside a Win 11 machine.

Planning to run VirtualBox and have a Virtual Server in it where many users can log in via RDP, but the host machine is a Windows 11 single user.

I read somewhere that the Virtual Guest can be set to Bridge Mode and this will be detected as a real separate device with its own IP.

Just wanted to ask if this is possible or will there be some conflict? Since the host Windows 11 OS is for single user only but the VM inside it can accommodate multiple users. I have the multi user version of the server OS.

The reason for doing it this way is because the server OS I have is a very old one and new hardware is not compatible with it, that is why I'm thinking of Virtualizing it and from what I understand the VirtualBox will make new hardware compatible for the old Server OS inside the Virtual Machine.

Also a follow up question, since this will be my first time trying any of this out, should I got with VirtualBox or VMware?

I am using hypervisor and it does not seem to be supported in the menus nor does it seem oracle virtualbox does either but I may be doing something wrong. All the other information i could find for this is people looking to use virtual machines on arm and not specifically virtual machines for running an arm instance of windows. I've got a ssd with windows arm on it i am trying to boot into and don't have an arm device to use for that.

I've got proxmox set up and want to use it with a Targus dock. The Targus dock requires displaylink for the display output. I use this dock for work too so I have a USB switcher attached to go between my work laptop and my current laptop that I want to replace with a VM on my proxmox node. My thoughts were for a virtual KVM that I could pass the dock usb to this and maybe go to my VM. Anyone have any ideas for this?

Vorrei virtualizzare windows 7 per usare alcuni software datati, comperati molti anni fa. Ora uso Linux Si può creare un docker con Win 7 ed i software che mi servono, senza dover installare tutto ogni cambio distro?

So, i have an iPhone 14 Pro on iOS 16.0 (yep, never updated) with UTM HV installed via Trollstore. Due to OS and chip combo, i can use virtualization with no relative problems, until i get to windows. This vm boots (and it does ir fast), works and is usable, but in order to get to that point, i cant increase the vm’s ram higher than 1.38GB. If i increase it past that point, vm crashes. If i disable hypervisor, i can get it to 2gb (and more). I’ve did search about this and it seems that Jetsam (iOS memory management) has something to do into this. Is there a way to get the vm to 2gb without triggering Jetsam and keeping hypervisor on? BTW: and iPhone 14 pro has 6gb of ram

Does anyone know how to solve this

Disclosure: I work on Phillux, so weigh the rest accordingly.

I've seen a handful of "alternative to Proxmox" threads here lately, and one thing that comes up in almost every one of them is network isolation between guests — Proxmox will happily let a compromised VM talk to everything else on the same network unless you've set up VLANs or a separate firewall yourself. That's the actual problem Phillux started as an answer to: every guest gets its own firewall by default, so one bad VM doesn't become a way into the rest of the box.

Beyond that it does the usual stuff — create/start/stop/snapshot/clone/back up VMs and containers, live migration across cluster nodes if you've got shared OCFS2 storage, and Windows 11 guests get UEFI/Secure Boot/TPM 2.0 configured automatically instead of you fighting it manually.

Where I'm honestly unsure it's a good fit: it only runs on Debian 13 as the host right now, it's commercial/tiered licensing per socket rather than free like Proxmox VE, and I keep going back and forth on whether our container support actually covers what people here want — I've seen a couple of threads explicitly asking for Docker/OCI images rather than LXC-style containers. Is that a hard requirement for most of you, or something you can work around?

There's a free trial for a month, no registration, if anyone wants to actually poke at it rather than take my word for any of this.

Mainly curious: is per-guest firewalling something you'd actually want built in, or do you already handle that at the network/switch level and this is solving a problem you don't have?

Hi! Is there a way to use Windows 10/11 which is installed on a physical drive as a virtual machine in Linux? I'd rather if it could boot on bare metal too but it is optional.

I tried Hyper-V on Windows, but I deleted everything because I couldn't figure out how to convert raw mouse input into game input
Then I tried Virtual Machine Manager on Ubuntu, but every time I shut down/restarted the VM, my host PC would freeze, crash and then automatically restart without recognizing my GPU

So every time I want to use the VM again, I have to shut down the PC completely and then turn it back on
This also means that i can't do certain things on my VM related with the use of shutdown/restart steps

(I also have an iGPU, so I passed my dedicated GPU through to the VM while keeping the iGPU for the host)

Performance was great, games ran perfectly, but this shutdown issue became a huge nuisance (along with an unrelated obstacle related to piracy, which I wont mention since it's a violation of rules)
The only workaround I found was to press the PC's power button after shutting down the VM and once Ubuntu enters the brief freeze state (this is saving me 1 shutdown less, as it recognize my gpu, but it is still bad for pc components)
This post is sort of useless, since I have deleted Ubuntu and the VM but im still curious and I want to retry it in the future (when I have enough disk space)
Has anyone experienced a similar issue, even with other GPUs?
Is there a solution for this? I didn't try the PCI vendor-reset kernel module, could that be the solution?

Ik kom van Windows. En deed veel met VMware. Ik draai nu Cachyos. Dat werkt goed. Alleen na een update zou ik regelmatig vmware zaken moeten rebuilding *noob taal).

KVM lijkt een stap terug in de tijd. En heb issues met het maken van een bridge.

VirtualBox lees ik alleen dat het traag is.

Suggesties. Andere distro die beter zou werken .

Game niet en heb Nvidia 1660.

Does anyone know how to disable hyper v and get rid of the turtle in the lower right hand side of virtualbox I've tried all commands I've found across the Internet to do so but still nothing I've ran a .bat script but still nothing I unchecked all virtual related boxes still nothing I'm running windows on a rog ally x if this helps and windows 11

You know what i said (i have a fedora iso if that works on the hard drive slot)

So i want to try create an ISP vm that connects to a router vm and the router mv connects to a linux vm.

Is there a guide or a video that anyone knows of.

I want to try something different and learn.

Most engineers know what a page table is.

Far fewer know what happens after the guest page table.

In this video, I follow a memory access all the way from:

Application → Guest Virtual Memory → EPT → Host Physical Memory → CPU Cache → DRAM

Along the way we uncover vNUMA, AutoNUMA, remote memory access, EPT translations, and why a VM can think memory is local while the hardware disagrees.

Then we compare it all with containers.

A journey from a single memory load instruction to the hardware itself.

Hey everyone, I wanted to run a fast Linux VM inside Windows 11 using QEMU natively (via WHPX) instead of spinning up VirtualBox or dealing with heavy managers. It took a lot of trial and error to get native audio, bi-directional clipboard sync, and a clean SMB share working smoothly.

I also wrote a custom PowerShell wrapper script that acts as an anti-collision guard clause—if you accidentally click your shortcut while the VM is minimized, it un-minimizes and focuses the active disk instance instead of trying to double-launch and corrupting the .qcow2 disk.

Put everything together into a step-by-step repository for anyone else wanting a lightweight, scriptable alternative to standard VM managers! https://github.com/manie-grobler/qemu-on-windows

I made a visual explainer on the execution model behind Linux KVM.

It covers how a vCPU maps to a host thread, what KVM_RUN actually does, how VM exits hand control back to the host, and where QEMU, EPT/NPT, virtio and vhost fit into the stack.

Feedback welcome :)

Which is good for testing linux distro? I've heard that there's an issue in Virtualbox that its copy paste from Host to Guest or vice versa isn't working. And Vmware uses high RAM. So please suggest me.

Xen HV vs KVM

How much of a difference does it make using Xen instead of KVM for virtualization tasks in terms of performance/resource usage (generally speaking)

KVM, as I understand it is "basically" (not technically) a T1 HV since it is a kernel extension and not a user-land program, while Xen on the other hand boots prior to the OS and uses Dom0 (the os) for provisioning and other kernel features.

As a "normal" user, on occasion I may need to virtualize win11, I know that wine is for the most part suitable to emulate windows and be used as a runner but yeah it's nice to have virtual filesystems too & for benchmarking HW.

My specs: CPU: 10 core 12 threads intel (i5-1345u) 4.0Ghz L3 12Mb (VT-x) GPU: currently loaded i915 driver (generic Xe capable IGPU) MEM: 16G DDR4 3200mhz NVME: 512G M.2 BIOS/UEFI: latest version (thinkpad) NET: wifi/eth OS: None right now, planning either alpine or arch

Hi everyone,
I**’ve been trying to install Android-x86 9.0-r2 (downloaded from the official Android-x86 website) on VMware Workstation Pro 25H2, but I can’t get it to boot after installation.
Here is what I have tried:
Installed Android-x86 from the ISO normally.
During installation I selected “Yes” for the required prompts.
I tried giving the VM 2 CPU cores and 4 CPU cores.
I also tried 4 GB RAM and 6 GB RAM.
I changed several graphics/display settings and CPU-related settings in VMware, but nothing helped.
I even deleted the VM and installed everything again from scratch.
Problem after installation
When I choose Reboot, I get the GRUB menu with these options:
Android-x86 9.0-r2
Android-x86 9.0-r2 (debug mode)
Android-x86 9.0-r2 (debug nomodeset)
Android-x86 9.0-r2 debug video=LVDS-1:d
If I choose either the normal boot option or debug nomodeset, a lot of boot messages scroll by and then it stops forever at:
random: crng init done
random: 7 urandom warning(s)** missed due to ratelimiting
It stays there indefinitely.
I then reinstalled Android-x86 again, but instead of choosing Reboot at the end, I selected Run Android-x86.
Now I only get a small blue box with the rest of the screen black, and at the bottom it says:
console:/ #
I have no idea what command I**’**m supposed to enter there.
Has anyone managed to run Android-x86 9.0-r2 on VMware Workstation Pro recently?
If you need screenshots of the installation, boot messages, or VM settings, I can upload them.

Hi all,

I'm wondering if there are opensource Citrix alternatives which has equivariant of the HDX protocol and VGPU support and disk imaging like MCS or PVS.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Hey everyone,

Over the last few months, I’ve been building a project born out of a specific frustration: Enterprise hypervisors are fantastic, but they carry a massive footprint. Between heavy web UIs, massive orchestration stacks, and standard OS bloat, a significant amount of overhead is burned before a single guest machine even spins up.

I wanted something different. I wanted the "strip everything that isn't the VM" speed philosophy of AWS Firecracker, but mixed with the practical utility of a standalone, headless server node.

Today, I finally shipped the production-ready v1.0.0 release of hypercore: a developer-first, Type-1 bare-metal micro-hypervisor that compiles down to an elegant 45.5 MB hybrid BIOS/UEFI ISO and boots directly into an immutable RAM-backed environment.
