It's been probably about 8 years or so since I touched QEMU, but at the time the performance was unusable (on a modest system) compared to a very usable virtualbox or vmware. IIRC, I was just trying to run win XP on Windows 7. How do things stand these days? Also, given that QEMU is somewhat platform independent, how well does it run an x86 OS on top of an ARM chip?

Alright HN, I need your help. Sorry for the approximative English, I'm losing my vocabulary with WFH and I'm pretty sleep-deprived. I've been building a game streaming platform for influencers for the past months. We scaled to 9k users in a month. We have android x86 running on QEMU-KVM and there are a bunch of issues I need to address. - virsh (and virt-manager) always add a PS2 mouse to the guest. The issue is PS2…

I have personally run this through KVM on arm64.

Oh yeah so for performance you would want to look into kvm which is used by QEMU.

I have been using android x86, quite successfully even with touch input. When I did it I didn't use virsh, instead I just used ffmpeg directly via CLI.
>> - Can we host an arm android emulator on QEMU? (armeabi-v7 or v8)
It is very possible to run arm code on a x86 machine, this would however be slower of course.
If you are running on a VPS you might be able to get one with an ARM CPU that supports virtualization.
>> - Streaming the app viewport with VNC has some (small) latency, any way to fix it? There would be other ways that you can use to remote connect to it such as spice. You might also want to consider running it on an headless X server and then use basically any remote control program.
>> - - My VM resolutions are 720x1080 but VNC always launches in 1920x1080. I have black rectangles on both sides of the Screen. This sounds as one of the points in the changelog, maybe try to use the newest version?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
How do you get VMs with LXC/LXD? Also LXD's command line tool being lxc (with c instead of d) while LXC's being lxc-* is an abomination. Who wouldn't be confused by that?
you just add --vm to lxc launch

Hi, I'm in the Anbox Cloud team at Canonical. I'll get in touch via email. https://anbox-cloud.io/docs
