QEMU in windows 10 running virtual ubuntu

[rrr2015]

anyone have a success getting qemu to work? can share your cmd line? it reached up till ubuntu loading then stops.

cmd i used
qemu-system-x86_64w.exe -boot d -cdrom ubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso -m 2048 -vga std

questions
1. how to increase screen resolution
2. how to enable use of logical processors (currently it keep loading at max on 1 logical processor)

Does qemu on windows even have a hardware hypervisor to use? If not, why bother?

i know it support hardware virtualization in linux via KVM but not sure about windows 10

anyway just trying out. i did managed to get it to work in windows 10 with virtual Ubuntu but it's just way too slow. so am sticking to Virtualbox

Yes it's very speedy in Linux because of KVM. Take a look at https://dev.to/whaleshark271/using-qemu-on-windows-10-home-edition-4062 for windows equivalent

Hi ! I want to say thank you to your post.

I've been trying to run Ubuntu on my Windows. I thought I could just get the Docker version but realise that it's a minimal version (didn't know about this as I was just a casual linux user last time long ago). I try installing the full desktop on it, etc and just could not get it working right. Just could not get the x windows working. I've also tried WSL2 version and remote desktop, it worked but I didn't want to use remote all the time.

I saw your post and tryied out virtualbox. It's great ! I can now try out Ubuntu and I think I'm getting to like it more and more.

You didn't realise that when you wrote this, you would help a silly person like me, right ? But it did. And I would like to say thank you very much !
