Slint and VM

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hello,

Didier, Slint maintainer, here.

I suggest to use Qemu instead. It works well, and the sound is way better than with VirtualBox.

That's what I use first to test the new Slint ISOs, before trying them on bare metal.

If you need help to set up the virtual machine, just ask.

Best regards,

Didier

Not...quite what I want. So...yeah, anyone got Slint to work on a VM? I have a perfectly good Ubuntu physical machine, wanted to test Slint out and see if it's any good in a VM
