As some/most/many already know, there are various examples of running this technology, "Virtual Machines".
For years, Linux Tovalds and developers have incorporated KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) technology as native for Linux. There are other implementations such as VMware as well as 4 other known vendor products which produce similar results. KVM's performance continues to be superior.
KVM is/was built-in as it provides a native experience in its performance. It is open-source, mature, and free...not to mentions its stable behavior.
@rufwoof, @666philb, and others have shown in the forum over past few months the setup and use of KVM-QEMU. This approach also works in Slacko64, FATDOG, etc where various levels of software is present for KVM operation.
It is simple to use offering benefit to developers, users, tire-kickers, testers, experimenters, production purposes in addition to normal host operations. Further, one can run several PCs within a PC at the same time for various reasons one would enjoy. These PCs within a PC have ALL the same services as if they are "real"; namely audio, video, internet, apps, etc (you get the point).
This is one example video running a MAC PC on a Linux PC.
This is another example video to setup a MAC PC on a Linux PC.
There is/are manuals presents that are specific to KVM in PUPs/DOGs. One such User Guide is here.
There are others; and, I will use this thread to offer other solutions that member may find helpful. Please contribure any KVM experience you might have that others can benefit. Thus, this thread can be a placeholder for our experiences and other useful links to KVM-QEMU experiences.
Some example experiences-uses you might post or share would be for Development machines for compilings, or a NAS for special data sharing, or KODI/DLNA media machine, or a TEST machine for trying different PUPs/DOGs/OSes, or ARM machine for RasPi stuff, or ARM machine distro developments, or testing behavior of single processors vs multi-processor environments, or testing effects of RAM changes, or running a gaming machine or ??? ... ALL/ANY of these machines can be simultaneously active within your MAIN HOST PUP PC.
