QEMU: Lightweight Virtualization for the Command Line Enthusiast
These days, virtualization has never been easier. Whether you're using enterprise-grade solutions like Proxmox or VMware ESXi, or desktop-friendly platforms like VirtualBox or Hyper-V, spinning up virtual machines is more accessible than ever. But for command-line lovers like myself, there's something special about using tools that don’t require a GUI. Call it a personal motto: the hard way, or no way at all. That’s where QEMU comes in. For over a decade, I’ve used QEMU to create quick, reliable VMs for short-term projects, directly from the terminal.
