This means that the creator of this article is not bullshitting.
The best generic virtualizer and/or emulator ever Template:Disputed
If you deny it. then you are a consumertard and you are making bullshit

How to QEMU yourself?
RTFM! or RTD! If you don't want to RTFM/RTD, then look at this guide
The guide
QEMU has no GUI, but what if you want to use the command-line? Then this is for you!
QEMU has many arguments, but here's a basic example of usage of the AMD64 softmmu (targeted for modern QEMU and modern linux):
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda alpine.qcow2 -cdrom alpine.iso -vga virtio -boot cd -usb -device usb-tablet -display gtk -nic user,model=virtio
You need to create the disk image using the following command:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 alpine.qcow2 30G
After that, download alpine linux here. Choose the Standard or Virtual variant, and choose x86_64. After downloading the image, rename it to "alpine.iso"
After that, just run QEMU, using the command-line arguments from the command-line example from above
After installing alpine linux, you're done! No KVM was needed!
