QEMU 10.0 Virtualisierungs-Software veröffentlicht!
Was ist QEMU?
QEMU ist ein Open-Source-Hypervisor, der zur Virtualisierung von Betriebssystemen und zur Emulation von Hardware verwendet wird. Es ermöglicht Benutzern, virtuelle Maschinen (VMs) zu erstellen und auszuführen, die verschiedene Betriebssysteme und Architekturen unterstützen können. QEMU kann sowohl als eigenständiger Hypervisor als auch in Kombination mit anderen Virtualisierungslösungen wie KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) verwendet werden, um die Leistung zu verbessern.

Does anyone know how to fix double input when pressing the arrow keys in #freedos 1.4 on #Linux #qemu ? I've tried the command line option "fix" -global i8042.kbd_throttle=on but some programs (lynx, nethack) still read my arrow keys as pressing exactly twice instead of once. I'm using Gentoo.
I really want to give FreeDOS a serious try and give some dev on it a shot but this is a bit of a dealbreaker. I'm open to trying other virtual machines that don't require KVM/hardware virtualization.
