Quickly create and run optimized Windows, macOS, and Linux virtual machines. Quickemu is a wrapper for the excellent QEMU that automatically "does the right thing" when creating virtual machines. No requirement for exhaustive configuration options. You decide what operating system you want to run and Quickemu takes care of the rest. The original objective of the project was to enable quick testing of Linux distributions where the virtual machines and their configuration can be stored anywhere (such as external USB storage or your home directory) and no elevated permissions are required to run the virtual machines.

Features

  • Quickget automatically downloads the upstream OS and creates the configuration
  • Quickemu enumerates your hardware and launches the virtual machine with the optimum configuration best suited to your computer
  • macOS Sonoma, Ventura, Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina & Mojave
  • Nearly 1000 operating system editions are supported!
  • Full SPICE support including host/guest clipboard sharing
  • VirtIO-webdavd file sharing for Linux and Windows guests
  • QEMU Guest Agent support; provides access to a system-level agent via standard QMP commands
  • VirtIO-9p file sharing for Linux and macOS guests
  • Automatic SSH port forwarding to guests
  • EFI (with or without SecureBoot) and Legacy BIOS boot
