Get Windows on Linux in 10 Minutes With These 2 Commands.
Sometimes on Linux you need a working instance of Windows just to do a quick task that can only be done in Microsoft’s operating system. If you want to make that process as speedy as possible, check out Quickemu.
Meet Quickemu
Quickemu is a command-line program that uses scripts to automate the process of downloading, setting up, and optimizing a virtual machine on your Linux or Mac device. If you haven’t guessed by its name, it uses the QEMU emulator and virtualizer on the backend, and that’s what will be running when Quickemu launches your VM.
All Quickemu is doing is automating the installation and initialization. It configures everything for you; there’s no need to worry about managing virtualized components. You just choose the operating system you want, and after the scripts do their job, you can start working in it.
You’re also not limited to Windows desktops. Quickemu automates the setup of hundreds of operating systems, including Windows Server, macOS, Ubuntu, Fedora, and FreeBSD.
