### [Custom Linux guests](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/02-Create-Linux-virtual-machines#manually-create-linux-guests)
|
|
|
|
Or you can download a Linux image and manually create a VM
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
- Download a .iso image of a Linux distribution
|
|
- Create a VM configuration file; for example `debian-bullseye.conf`
|
|
|
|
``` shell
|
|
guest_os="linux"
|
|
disk_img="debian-bullseye/disk.qcow2"
|
|
iso="debian-bullseye/firmware-11.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Use `quickemu` to start the virtual machine:
|
|
|
|
``` shell
|
|
quickemu --vm debian-bullseye.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Complete the installation as normal.
|
|
- Post-install:
|
|
- Install the SPICE agent (`spice-vdagent`) in the guest to enable
|
|
copy/paste and USB redirection.
|
|
- Install the SPICE WebDAV agent (`spice-webdavd`) in the guest to
|
|
enable file sharing.

## Supporting old Linux distros
|
|
|
|
If you want to run an old Linux , from 2016 or earlier, change the `guest_os` to `linux_old`.
|
|
This will enable the `vmware-svga` graphics driver which is better supported on older distros. |
