QEMU/KVM for absolute beginners 

I really enjoy your sense of humor on this. It gives me serious Technology Connections vibes!

Veronica and people like her make the world a great place to live on.

You explain everything concisely without skipping important things. Thank you, nobody else seems to be doing this! I'd really like to see a video on network bridging

I like your teaching style, the video held my attention all the way through. I would be interested in knowing more about networking with virtual machines.

I'm a support engineer at Oracle for the KVM based Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager (OLVM) product and I found this very interesting. Thanks you for taking the time to make this video.

Love your style! I've been using Virtualbox for many years and tried KVM/QEMU some time back, finding them rather painful. Now, after watching this video, I'll go back and give them another go. Thanks so much.

This is one of my favorite Linux channels. You are an amazing teacher, and I love your words of encouragement. Thanks for taking the time to do all the work you do and making RU-vid a better place.

Absolutely the best explanation of this subject I have found on RU-vid. I am a retired sysadmin (windows, unfortunately, but heavy into VMware from their beta days). I have been using Virtualbox for years as it is free and works, but searching for something better. You have convinced me to give this a shot! I like how you go deep, but not too deep, but not too shallow. Stated another way, I always hated basic programming books that went from "Hello World" to Greek in the space of one paragraph! You bridge that gap well! Thanks!

> Tell me you're a dev without telling me you're a dev Label on monitor says, "YOU'LL SURVIVE" lol!!! 3:49 You should totally make that groovy music a recurring theme whenever you put up some explanatory text. It's a lot of fun. 5:15 Alliteration drum solo. VERY well done Excellent video. Keep them coming! :)

I love how you explain each step and take a moment to explain details. I feel like I'm learning while I'm learning :)

I've never been so entertained by a how-to video. Thanks!

Omg! I’ve been searching for days to figure out how to install VMs to my second ssd using QEMU. Thank you so much for this fantastic video!

I am administering the IT at my work which is mostly Windows but we are entering into Linux for some development and testing. I also moved to Linux Mint with KDE on a dedicated SSD on my personal computer 2 months back after years of trying out various Linux distributions in VirtualBox and dual boot. Thank you for putting so much effort into your videos to make them not boring. You are like the elder sister I never had. 🤗

Thank you for this video; before watching it I was convinced kvm was a difficult application for experts, but using your instruction I succeded to install and use it

Thanks for the video. Your style of teaching and explaining made the 20 minutes fly by (something difficult for those who explain technology topics). It would be great if in your next video you could explain the networking part, which I always get along very badly with. Greetings from Argentina.

Just bumped into your video and love the way you teach everyone as a school (preschool?) teacher! Love to see women developers, something the outside world sometimes forget they exist!!! Great video, super simple language, and honest advice! Got yourself a subscriber!

I've been a Linux user for 20 yrs and your teaching style is awesome.

I have been tinkering with QEMU/KVM for weeks, I was finally able to get it working after watching your video. Thank you.

I didn't even have to watch till the end before I could figure out the solution to a problem I had that led me to your video. I think your video is the best one on this subject matter. Thank you very much. 🙏

I have seen several tutorial videos on youtube but your style of teaching is not only superb but entertaining. Way to go Veronica.

I really enjoyed this video Veronica. You have an easy style of explaining things that make them easier to learn.

Excellent video Veronica!!. Your style is amazing. Love to see more videos from you.

Thank you Veronica I sat here and followed you step by step. My VM's are all up and running. It was quite a personal experience being directly guided by a friendly virtual Bodhisattva.

This is the best RU-vid channel I have found. Thank you Veronica. Awesome content.

Like so many have already said, Great teaching style. Especially the part about not taking up too much time in the minutiae and giving direction to :"look it up". I am newer to linux (about a year now) and I have accidentally bumped into the virt-manager and wondered about it. I figured I would find out about it when it was time. Well the time is now because Virtualbox frustrates me, especially on it's weak USB pass-through, and I have been looking through several web pages and videos finding myself not yet knowing what i wanted to about it. Your short, concise video leaves me feeling confident and looking forward to my upcoming VM-doings. So thank you for the time you put into that for us. Liked and subscribed!

Hi Veronica, we want more Terminalnerdytude!!! Also a deepdive in KVM Networking will be very welcoming! Awesome video, Tank you very much 😎

Perfect, attractive, amusing presentation with one of the best intonation and pauses.

This was excellent! Really appreciate the depth and care you took to go over the tricky bits. Particularly appreciate hearing from your experience opinions about good or difficult parts. It's easy-enough to look up OS-specific written instructions but the overview you give is super helpful and much harder to find. Many years as a professional infra dev and I genuinely didn't really quite know how virtual-machines run on linux, despite having run it for years. I thought KVM meant Keyboard-mouse-something and hypervisors were completely mysterious. Areas such as networking and kernel-level OS things are things that us devs struggle with and... speaking for myself at least, really appreciate the insight

This was brilliant. I can't wait to see what you make next.

I'm very passionate by Linux and virtualization myself, great video, you just earned yourself a new subscriber :)

Your uncanny ability to blend nerdy topics with humor makes these tech videos so much more enjoyable. Some creators of similar content excel at making the auditory version of watching paint dry. Keep up the great work.

Veronica, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. They are easy to understand and you are quite animated in a good way :-) thank you for the work that you do and I look forward to each new video.

Veronica has a very likable personality and makes knowledge fun. I can see why you have high views but you need more subscribers.

Impressed by your tutorial Looking forward to see more videos about network settings

Extremely well done video and explanation. Everything is clearly explained from beginning to end and you give reasons for what is used and why one would want to do certain steps. I wish all tech how-to videos were more like this.

Kudos for telling us when to pause for information. Awesome. Also, blessed are those who post solutions and how-to info for the rest of us to search. Professionals definitely learn how to search, but the true masters post the information for the rest of us (such as your videos, for instance). Thanks for sharing.

My gosh, you presenting style and humor remind me so much of the guy from Technology Connections. Very informative video!

Excellent video! i would love to see more in-depth videos about kvm.

When the need came to install a hypervisor on my Linux machine, this video (which I had watched before) was the first thing that sprung to mind. Thank you so much for this very helpful guide!

I like your humor. Very good. And, your articulation and pronunciation is near the best I've seen on all of you tube. You must have had a semi-deaf grandparent.

Thanks for this video which is the best I've seen on KVM. Very, very good

That was... great! I'd definitevely love to see more 'terminal nerditude' about KVM! I'll go watch your other vids rn

I am incredibly grateful to you for creating this video. I am fairly certain that I came across this video after I had tried using Virtualbox to test something within a macOS and Windows VM (and not having a particularly stellar experience). After watching your video I installed kvm on my old 2011 MacBook Pro (running Ubuntu only), in in addition to some other tools called quickemu and quickget, and it was night and day in comparison to my previous attempts at using Virtualbox to create Windows, Linux, and even macOS VMs. Many, many thanks Veronica!

What a way of describing. Bravo! Just adequate knowledge to begin with and immediate application, very nice. Feel glad to found your channel, youtube is blessing sometimes.

Nice video and I like your presentation style. I'd def vote for the bridging topic next!

I learned stuff! I've been using these tools at work on existing setups, and I an very keen to learn the underpinnings so I can expand/improve. I would also add to the virtual clamor for "more nerdy command line virsh", and more on networking. I want to know more! Thanks for your hard work!

Fantastic video. I love how you focus on conveying the content rather than on yourself, which is unfortunately a thing on the internet. I'm looking to migrate from VirtualBox so this is just the thing I needed.

Fabulous explainer! Thank you! It would be great to take an even deeper dive into KVM to explore the gotchas, practical config topics, and usage tips. Today was the first time one of your videos turned up in a search for me. As an educator, I am glad it did, as your instructional style is on point! You have my subscription and I look forward to the next lesson.

Great kvm tutorial. I’ve already watched this video 3 times. Yes, please make an entire playlist on kvm. Start with virsh.

4:48 .. I can relate to this , I actually do have them memorized but rather than stress even after all these years I still setup my own tldr for quick reference . If working multi platform that does become a bit much to remember, the official tldr has the -p option so you can specify the platform of the command in question. Its one less trip to the search engine + you can easily append your own entries.

Loved the vid! I'm an ex sys-admin and haven't touched virtualisation in years. This was super handy - thank you!

Your approach to editing makes this so much fun to watch.

Still watching, but already love this! I’ve wanted to replace my ESXi machines and replace them with Arch boxes.

You have a great presentation style! I personally would love to see a video on KVM bridge networking.

This is the best walkthrough for KVM and virt-manager. Not many people know about this, there isn't a lot of easy info out there about it. I'll send people here in future, thank you.

Thanks for this video! As I've just recently started using QEMU/KVM, it taught me a lot ! Your explanations are very clear and understandable, and I will surely put them to practice for future reference!

Great video - thanks very much for putting it together! I'll cast another vote for a KVM networking deep-dive. I'd like to be able to SSH into the VMs from the host system and do some other things as well. Looking forward to the next installment!

thanks for this great video, looking forward to new ones.

Thank you for this. YOU know how to teach. I saw some videos, from arguably great youtubers, whose tutorial was WORSE than trying to figure it out on my own. The worst part is when the information I needed for qemu WASN'T IN THE QEMU DOCUMENTATION LOL! IT WAS IN THE FEDORA DOCUMENTATION INSTEAD!!

Thank you for this video. I am an arch user, and some moths ago took a look at the wiki, and gave up at the time on kvm-qemu, promising to myself I'll try again in the future. This video was the perfect opportunity, giving me an idea about the core component and concepts that allowed me to better understand the wiki, and that coupled with a couple of additional searches on the web (never been ashamed to look for guides and howto-s) did the trick.

Great video, keep up the good work. Hope to see more Linux tutorials from you, a fresh alternative to all the stuffy Linux stuff on the tube.

I love KVM too been using it for years but mostly with virt-manager. I hope you will do some Virsh playing around and much more on kvm in general.

Love your videos. Their tone, music and theme. ❤ please keep them up. I am a Linux fan and now more that you are a voice in the community

Oh that Commodore brings back memories - definitely a treasure to keep.

Wow, I just came across your site and subscribed. Awesome! I love your teaching style as well. I would like to know more about QEMU/KVM. Everything actually. I currently use Virtual Box. Though it only allows a max ram of 256MB and is sometimes a bit buggy with USB.

great video, interesting and with knwoledge. Amazing Linux and so are you!

Consider me your new fan. I love your videos and the way how you make Technology things look so easy to understand. Please keep these videos coming!

Great video. What a difference your teaching video is from all the others. it's a pleasure to watch and learn.

you are excelent teacher. Please continue KVM videos. I always make mistake, when install it .

1st video made me sub 2nd video made me turn on notifications This is so awesome.

RU-vid recommended me this video and I really love how attracted I was with the explanations! I guess the next step is to show how to use KVM with Vagrant to quickly provision Virtual Machines.

Hello Veronica! You are awesome! Some days ago I used Vbox for the first time. Failing to connect an usb device brought me to Quemu&KVM. And the search for a tutorial brought me to you. Your great video took away lots of headache and fear that a newbee often feels in such a situation. Now I am trying to copy the created vm to start it on a larger system ssd. Lets see. Thank you very much 🎉 And greetings from Germany.

Thank You, would be interesting to know more about network, bridging all that jazz

I am really interested in seeing how KVM can be used as a type 1 hypervisor like how qubes os uses xen.

Awesome content, the way you deliver it, whoa, haven't blinked once. You are awesome! Cheers

This is the first video I found of yours, and like Linux YOU are AWESOME! your explanations were clear and concise very helpful, also thank you for actually taking a minute to explain some of the commands, this is something that many others just blow right by. I will be watching more I am sure, thank you!

Great intro video to kvm. For a followup, you might consider showing how to connect to remote hypervisors with virt-manager as well. If you want to go further for a playlist, would you consider a demo setting up ovirt or Eucalyptus, etc.?

KVM is the best virtualisation tech. I really hoped that the virgl project matured but as far as I'm aware we never got a Windows driver :( I wish I had the knowledge to contribute and write my own driver.

Veronica, you make fantastic videos and this one is my favorite so far. It was very informative and fun to watch. I have been into linux since 1999 but I am a neophyte to KVM and Qemu. This video had a well defined scope and you I would love to see this grow into a play list. I would like to request an intro to virt and I would also like to express my interest in videos that explore the networking options. Thanks again. :)

This video helped me begin using QEMU/VM where I needed the most because at the moment VirtualBox didn't support Ubuntu 22.02. So thanks to this video I discovered KVM and it is great.

this hands down the simplest KVM explanation, I've found in youtube. P.S. - there's probably some mis-configuration with your OBS settings. the screen recording looks very pixeleted

Great vid. Although, virt-manager has been deprecated, so actually it would be recommended to use Cockpit with the added benefit that you can manage the hypervisor server remotely, also it's browser based so that means it has a nice GUI to play with! Anyway, thanks for the video!

Came across this video, it simplified and easy to understand.

I didn't know there was a gui for qemu. I will definitely try that. ​Thanks for an informative video, with a lot of humor.

Very well presented and informative video!! It would be nice if you make one about kvm networking as well. Thank you!

Would love a deep dive into sharing networking with the host machine or how to see the VM network with the rest of the the actual LAN so let's say you can run virtual server's locally . 😀

Oh woaw. Thank you for that video. It is perfect in every way. It saved me about half a dozen headaches.

This is the first video i watched from your channel, When you said it's like a machine inside a machine inside a machine inside a machine, i subscribed

"google" for answers on "duck duck go" ... LOL ...

I knew all this stuff but you explained it so well I just kept watching & subscribed

This was by far the best tutorial on this subject I've come across. Love your channel. Thanks to the algorithm to steer my to this awesome channel. Subscribed immediately.

Thank you for the video! Did this on my main Windows computer, the Linux main was busy compiling. Used a VMware Kali VM, then used KVM inside that to run a Manjaro VM using your clear and entertaining instructions :) I now like KVM more.

I think you are my new favorite person. I've never been so entertained and edumacated simultaneously! I thought I was the only one who mixed technical with humour (much to my colleagues chagrine) 😅

Full disclaimer: I am a >50yo neckbeard with more technical hangups than a ringtail os/2 lemur falling out of a openBSD1.2 tree. That said I am very impressed with your teaching style. You have a new sub! Cheers from Canada.

Hi! I am glad that youtube has started recommending your videos!

loved your content, loved your delivery way

Great video, her narration style reminds me of Dave's garage, educative and entertaining narration, both creators know their craft very well. Kudos.

Thank you for this video! You know how to explain things clearly with charm

How come I never saw you channel before? I want to learn more about Linux. I’m glad I met you. Thank you.

Very nice presentation! Looking forward to mor videos!
