Should have gone to the list. Sorry.

KVM/QEMU has completely changed how I do software development. I almost

Anyway, have fun. Virtualization is a little heavier than containers, but
well worth getting to know better.
I was successful installing the LXQt flavors of Lubuntu and PCLinuxOS
(PCLOS) into virtual machines and they work well. With PCLOS, the
desktop kept repeatedly flashing running it from the live image, so
once rebooted but selecting the safe graphics mode at boot, the
desktop was then fine and it apparently installed using that same
mode, but the desktop resolution is limited to 1600x900. If I select
anything wider or larger, it cuts off the bottom of the window. I
could move the LXQtPpanel to the top of the screen, but I am used to
using it at the bottom.
I question whether the VM software emulates a /virtual/ CPU?? In
PCLOS, running neofetch in a terminal, displayed the CPU as an AMD
Opteron 23xx (Gen 3 Class Opteron) (2) @ 3.199GHz. The actual on-board
CPU is an AMD Athlon II X2 260 (2) @ 3.200GHz.
I also installed Fedora's LXQt Spin, which took the least amount of VM
configuring before the installation, however Fedora 34 did not have
the latest LXQt packages (had 0.16, latest is 0.17, next version may
be version 1.0) and some of the menus were actually missing their
icons./If it were me, I would not have released it with missing icons.
/So I deleted the Fedora VM, wasn't happy with it.
