See how I'm using BVM for class. Please report issues. Do not assume I am already aware of an issue, unless you can find an existing issue report, in which case please comment with something like \"I'm having this problem too.\" What to expect: - A full Windows 11 ARM virtual machine on ARM Linux. Thanks to KVM, this uses virtualization instead of emulation, resulting in no significant speed difference compared to installing Windows directly. - A first-class setup experience. None of the usual sticking points are present here, thanks to how automated it is. - It uses network passthrough to the Linux network stack, so Ethernet and WiFi all work out of the box. - It uses audio passthrough to pipewire/pulseaudio/ALSA, so audio playback works out of the box. - After installation and startup, the VM uses less than 1GB of RAM and minimal CPU when not in use, leaving plenty of resources free for Linux applications. - The connect mode gives the VM access to files stored on Linux, and any changes are immediately synchronized. (Go to This PC and look for the home network share) - It is capable of USB passthrough - any USB device can be made to directly communicate with Windows. - Thanks to Microsoft's built-in Prism emulator, all Windows applications should work, including x86 and x64. Compare that to Wine, which fails on everything but old, simple programs. - The grap","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/Botspot","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/Botspot/bvm/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
