Re: [orca-list] Dualbooting Linux and Windows

The reason is because vmware and vbox use software emulation. Qemu talks to the actual hardware, so that 
makes it faster.

Welll, I just spun up an Ubuntu test VM and there's no crackling of Orca or slow responsivness on my system 
with decentish specs, and through my wired USB headphones it's snappy and quick to respond.


And yes, Orca starts up without crackling here on qemu, whereas with VMWare/Virtualbox, crackling and 
clipping, but there's none on quickemu. I'm not sure how Wimpy managed it or i it's something inherent in 
qemu, but...it's a nice refreshing change

How's the responsiveness? With VmWare, it's like I'm using Bluetooth
headphones, even when using wired headphones.

Those dependancies are, off the top of my head...and may be differently
named on Debian vs Arch...

qemu, jq, edk2-ovmf (at least that's what I need to get it running on Arch)

As said it's a set of scripts that wrap around qemu to make it work.
quickget then the OS and version you want pulls that down and does all the
heavy lifting for you, then quickemu --vm vm.conf should start up that VM
that was created.

Hello,
Quickemu is a set of bash scripts so given the fact all the dependencies

are

installed it can just be downloaded or cloned off of github.
See its project page.

Thanks all for the info. I don't think Debian has Quickemu. Hmm, may be
a good time to try the Arch installer thing that came out... Last year?

    efibootmgr is a command that is run from the terminal.  The

    switch of greatest importance to this topic is "--bootorder",

    followed by a comma-separated list of the boot devices, in the
    order in
    which you want to try them.  You'll also need to know the numbers
    your
    system has assigned to the bootable devices.  To get this, type

    "sudo efibootmgr", with no command line switches.  You may want to
    redirect the output to a pager or a text file, for easier reading.

    >>> You are absolutely correct. Do a booting is much easier on
    UEFI systems. I do it, and switching between operating systems is
    very easy. My motherboard actually has a boot option for the Linux
    partition. Therefore, it is very easy once the system starts up,
    to press F 12 and down arrow once if I want windows. Since most
    motherboards don’t have this though, you would simply have to
    count the number of times you have to press  the down-arrow key to
    go between Linux and windows. In most cases, the bottom option
    gets you into your bios, so getting yourself there an up arrowing
    once usually does the trick. If you have any further questions,
    feel free to ask.

    my SSD (NVME) has enough space to where I think I could easily
    dualboot Windows and Linux. It's not running BIOS, it either has
    EFI or UEFI, and from what I've read, dualbooting is far easier on
    that. So, does anyone dualboot here? If so, how easy is it to
    switch between the operating systems? I'm planning on starting
    with Debian, since its accessibility stuff is just, already
    preconfigured. Maybe the stability of Debian will mean a lot less
    crashes than Fedora 35.
