QEMU Starter

Motivation

You might expect that with the invention of the internet, access to information would be extremely easy. However, while it is true that we have an overwhelming amount of information available, the ease of access to it is still quite poor.1 This is particularly evident when it comes to technical documentation for complex software systems like QEMU. 2

The information from the official QEMU documentation and communities like Stack OverFlow is pretty fragmented and somewhat lacking. It is very hard for someone to just search for something QEMU related and find the answers. They might have to go through bajillion different pages in order to find what they are looking for. This can be extremely frustrating for the newcomers. I, for one, felt this way and wanted to change this by combining all of them here to help others like me. Some might even call this a guide or simply a pseudo-wiki.

However, I am well aware of the possibility that I might create more information pollution instead of reducing it (ah the irony). For that, I intend to contribute to other popular Wikis like QEMU Wiki and Wikibooks. I know that it is not an easy task but it's worth a shot. (a.k.a insert #it-aint-much-but-its-honest-work-meme-here)

Extremely Important Note: This pseudo-wiki is intended for beginners and newcomers to QEMU. If you are an advanced user, you might the information here 'not satisfying', 'lacking' and straight up 'wrong'. For those people, I want to remind them that this is a beginner-friendly guide and not an advanced one. So, set-up your expectations according to that.

Now, enough formality. Let me start by saying: "This pseudo-wiki welcomes all adventurers seeking knowledge and excitement in the world of QEMU! While it may seem challenging at first, the journey will be worth it [and fun], teaching you valuable lessons along the way <3"

Quick Access

Getting Started

Everything is split into multiple parts and each of them is isolated from each other. This way, you can just open up the one you need at that moment. The sections are full of references and links for you to follow. If you want to learn more about a specific topic, you can just open it up, explore and come back.

When ready, start here: 0. Introduction
Also available as a single AIO file: All-in-One

Good luck and have fun <3
