QEMU life
Hello frien/g/ds.
I want to move up from virtualbox to qemu. I'd like to run multiple VMs that provide services to my network simultaniously.
Does anyone know a good guide / learning resources that would be helpful? This is all just for myself to learn, this isn't for work or a cert or anything.
Also, what OS would you suggest for running the rest of the VMs?
Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks! (Pic semi-related: it's Captain Nemo, which sounds kind of like QEMU and somehow i always associate the two in my mind).

I use centos for both host and guests.
Centos wiki is a good place to start learning shit.

CentOS if you want it the easy way, use libvirt with QEMU/kvm so it's easier interacting with the VM
How does one pass through the gpu on a laptop? Must one use an external monitor or is spi/vcn possible?
Thanks everyone, you guys rule.

You first must decide how you want to handle setting up and launching the VMs. You can write shell scripts to call QEMU with exactly the right options to launch your VM every time, or you can use something like virt-manager, which stores all that stuff in configuration files for you.
You must also decide how you want to handle networking. The default is to hide VMs behind a virtual NAT router, but since you want these VMs to be servers, that obviously won't work for you. You can also have it emulate a non-NAT router, and put all your VMs on a subnet of your LAN. Another option is to use bridged-mode networking and just have each VM get its IP address from your LAN's main DHCP server.
