for the semantically inquisitive folk.
It's worth noting if you are using this on an arm device, this isn't a "virtualization VM" any more, as you are using the emulator backend, so this is far closer to a traditional emulator then anything else.
While the term virtual machine is extremely poorly defined, it could still apply.
also TCG is as slow as molasses, it's a good demo, not actually usable for much, at least unless it's a super beefy phone.
16I might switch to aarch64 to see if it is faster. However, you are right about the slowness. It isn't bad but it is slow.
6Looks like it's an x86_64 kernel though? So this is a VM - it's not running as a paravirtualised system, it's having to emulate everything from the CPU up?
5Exactly
I'm running this on a phone running termux

Neat! What are you doing on the vm?

Interesting running it in QEMU. If possible, it might be better to use a container if the host kernel supports this because performance and resource consumption should both be significantly improved.
However, an emulator provides great flexibility I'll give you that.
5I find pretty cool that I can run a x86_64 VM on my phone. Remember it is full machine so I can run actual containers.

Cool! how's the performance?
4Slow...
I think it might be better to use aarch64 for the guest. I'll have to play around

I imagine it runs much more nicely than UTM SE on iOS. I was never able to get UTM JIT to work.
Honestly, I want to jump ship from Apple, but I'm not in a position to do so at this time.
1A locked down ecosystem is not exactly good for hacking. Apple aggressively blocks outside software
3Precisely. Spoken like a true 25% Vulcan.

This is cool but how long did this take to install? Would Linux phone OSes be better?
0A few minutes. I used the cloud image
3Better than i thought. Thank you for sharing.
