+# Introduction
+
+**Quickemu** is a wrapper for the excellent [QEMU](https://www.qemu.org/) that
+automatically *"does the right thing"* when creating virtual machines. No
+requirement for exhaustive configuration options. You decide what operating
+system you want to run and Quickemu takes care of the rest 🤖
+
+- `quickget` **automatically downloads the upstream OS** and creates the configuration 📀
+- `quickemu` enumerates your hardware and launches the virtual machine with the **optimum configuration best suited to your computer** ⚡️
+
+The original objective of the project was to [enable quick testing of Linux
+distributions](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/02-Create-Linux-virtual-machines)
+where the virtual machines and their configuration can be stored anywhere (such
+as external USB storage or your home directory) and no elevated permissions are
+required to run the virtual machines.
+
+**Today, Quickemu includes comprehensive support for [macOS](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/03-Create-macOS-virtual-machines),
+[Windows](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/04-Create-Windows-virtual-machines)**, most of the BSDs, novel non-Linux operating systems such as FreeDOS, Haiku, KolibriOS, OpenIndiana, ReactOS, and more.
+
+# Features
+
+- Host support for **Linux and macOS**
+- **macOS** Sonoma, Ventura, Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina & Mojave
+- **Windows** 10 and 11 including TPM 2.0
+- **Windows Server** 2022 2019 2016
+- [Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com/desktop) and all the **[official Ubuntu
+  flavours](https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours)**
+- **Nearly 1000 operating system editions are supported!**
+- Full SPICE support including host/guest clipboard sharing
+- VirtIO-webdavd file sharing for Linux and Windows guests
+- VirtIO-9p file sharing for Linux and macOS guests
+- [QEMU Guest Agent
+  support](https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/GuestAgent); provides access
+  to a system-level agent via standard QMP commands
+- Samba file sharing for Linux, macOS and Windows guests (*if `smbd`
+  is installed on the host*)
+- VirGL acceleration
+- USB device pass-through
+- Smartcard pass-through
+- Automatic SSH port forwarding to guests
+- Network port forwarding
+- Full duplex audio
+- Braille support

+# Quick start
 
-## Introduction
+[Once Quickemu is installed](https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/wiki/01-Installation), there are two simple steps to create and run a virtual machine:
 
-Quickly create and run highly optimised desktop virtual machines for
-Linux, macOS and Windows; with just two commands. You decide what
-operating system you want to run and Quickemu will figure out the best
-way to do it for you. For example:
+- `quickget` automatically downloads the ISO image for the operating system you want to run and creates a configuration file for the virtual machine.
 
-``` bash
-quickget ubuntu-mate 22.04
-quickemu --vm ubuntu-mate-22.04.conf
+``` shell
+quickget nixos unstable minimal
 ```
 
-The original objective of the project was to enable quick testing of
-Linux distributions where the virtual machine configurations can be
-stored anywhere, such as external USB storage or your home directory,
-and no elevated permissions are required to run the virtual machines.
-**Quickemu now also includes comprehensive support for macOS and
-Windows**.
+- `quickemu` starts the virtual machine using the configuration file created by `quickget`.

-            click **Erase**.
-        -   Enter a `Name:` for the disk
-        -   If you are installing macOS Mojave or later (Catalina, Big
-            Sur, and Monterey), choose any of the APFS options as the
-            filesystem. MacOS Extended may not work.
-    -   Click **Erase**.
-    -   Click **Done**.
-    -   Close Disk Utility
--   From **macOS Utilities**
-    -   Click **Reinstall macOS** and **Continue**
--   Complete the installation as you normally would.
-    -   On the first reboot use cursor keys and enter key to select
-        **macOS Installer**
-    -   On the subsequent reboots use cursor keys and enter key to
-        select the disk you named
--   Once you have finished installing macOS you will be presented with
-    an the out-of-the-box first-start wizard to configure various
-    options and set up your username and password
--   OPTIONAL: After you have concluded the out-of-the-box wizard, you
-    may want to enable the TRIM feature that the computer industry
-    created for SSD disks. This feature in our macOS installation will
-    allow QuickEmu to compact (shrink) your macOS disk image whenever
-    you delete files inside the Virtual Machine. Without this step your
-    macOS disk image will only ever get larger and will not shrink even
-    when you delete lots of data inside macOS.
-    -   To enable TRIM, open the Terminal application and type the
-        following command followed by pressing
-        command on the hard disk when files are deleted:
-
-``` bash
-sudo trimforce enable
-```
-
-You will be prompted to enter your account's password to gain the
-privilege needed. Once you've entered your password and pressed
-in the form of two questions that require you to type
-response as though you said "no":
-
-``` plain
-IMPORTANT NOTICE: This tool force-enables TRIM for all relevant attached devices, even though such devices may not have been validated for data integrity while using TRIM. Use of this tool to enable TRIM may result in unintended data loss or data corruption. It should not be used in a commercial operating environment or with important data. Before using this tool, you should back up all of your data and regularly back up data while TRIM is enabled. This tool is provided on an "as is" basis. APPLE MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, REGARDING THIS TOOL OR ITS USE ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH YOUR DEVICES, SYSTEMS, OR SERVICES. BY USING THIS TOOL TO ENABLE TRIM, YOU AGREE THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, USE OF THE TOOL IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND THAT THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO SATISFACTORY QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, ACCURACY AND EFFORT IS WITH YOU.
-Are you sure you with to proceed (y/N)?
-```
-
-And a second confirmation once you've confirmed the previous one:
-
-``` plain
-Your system will immediately reboot when this is complete.
-Is this OK (y/N)?
-```
-
-As the last message states, your system will automatically reboot as
-soon as the command completes.
-
-The default macOS configuration looks like this:
-
-``` bash
-guest_os="macos"
-img="macos-catalina/RecoveryImage.img"
-disk_img="macos-catalina/disk.qcow2"
-macos_release="catalina"
-```
-
--   `guest_os="macos"` instructs Quickemu to optimise for macOS.
--   `macos_release="catalina"` instructs Quickemu to optimise for a
-    particular macOS release.
-    -   For example VirtIO Network and Memory Ballooning are available
-        in Big Sur and newer, but not previous releases.
-    -   And VirtIO Block Media (disks) are supported/stable in Catalina
-        and newer.
-
-### macOS compatibility
-
-There are some considerations when running macOS via Quickemu.
-
--   Supported macOS releases:
-    -   High Sierra
-    -   Mojave
-    -   Catalina **(Recommended)**
-    -   Big Sur
-    -   Monterey
--   `quickemu` will automatically download the required
-    [OpenCore](https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg) bootloader
-    and OVMF firmware from [OSX-KVM](https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM).
--   Optimised by default, but no GPU acceleration is available.
-    -   Host CPU vendor is detected and guest CPU is optimised
-        accordingly.
-    -   [VirtIO Block
-        Media](https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2019/06/macos-qemu-guest/) is
-        used for the system disk where supported.
-    -   [VirtIO `usb-tablet`](http://philjordan.eu/osx-virt/) is used
-        for the mouse.
-    -   VirtIO Network (`virtio-net`) is supported and enabled on macOS
-        Big Sur and newer but previous releases use `vmxnet3`.
-    -   VirtIO Memory Ballooning is supported and enabled on macOS Big
-        Sur and newer but disabled for other support macOS releases.
--   USB host and SPICE pass-through is:
-    -   UHCI (USB 2.0) on macOS Catalina and earlier.
-    -   XHCI (USB 3.0) on macOS Big Sur and newer.
--   Display resolution can only be changed via macOS System Preferences.
--   **Full Duplex audio requires [VoodooHDA
-    OC](https://github.com/chris1111/VoodooHDA-OC) or pass-through a USB
-    audio-device to the macOS guest VM**.
--   NOTE! [Gatekeeper](https://disable-gatekeeper.github.io/) and
-    [System Integrity Protection
-    (SIP)](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/disabling_and_enabling_system_integrity_protection)
-    need to be disabled to install VoodooHDA OC
--   File sharing between guest and host is available via
-    [virtio-9p](https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup) and [SPICE
-    webdavd](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/phodav/-/merge_requests/24).
--   Copy/paste via SPICE agent is **not available on macOS**.
-
-### macOS App Store
-
-If you see *"Your device or computer could not be verified"* when you
-try to login to the App Store, make sure that your wired ethernet device
-is `en0`. Use `ifconfig` in a terminal to verify this.
-
-If the wired ethernet device is not `en0`, then then go to *System
-Preferences* -\> *Network*, delete all the network devices and apply the
-changes. Next, open a terminal and run the following:
-
-``` bash
-sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
-```
-
-Now reboot, and the App Store should work.
-
-## Windows 10 & 11 Guests
-
-`quickget` can not download
-[Windows10](https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10) and
-[Windows 11](https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11)
-automatically, but does automatically create an optimised virtual
-machine configuration that you can just add an Windows .iso image to.
-This configuration also includes the [VirtIO drivers for
-Windows](https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/).
-
-``` bash
-quickget windows 11
-quickemu --vm windows-11.conf
-```
-
--   Complete the installation as you normally would.
--   All relevant drivers and services should be installed automatically.
--   A local adminstrator user account is automatically created, with
-    these credentials:
-    -   Username: `Quickemu`
-    -   Password: `quickemu`
-
-The default Windows 11 configuration looks like this:
-
-``` bash
-guest_os="windows"
-disk_img="windows-11/disk.qcow2"
-iso="windows-11/windows-11.iso"
-fixed_iso="windows-11/virtio-win.iso"
-tpm="on"
-secureboot="on"
-```
-
--   `guest_os="windows"` instructs `quickemu` to optimise for Windows.
--   `fixed_iso=` specifies the ISO image that provides VirtIO drivers.
--   `tpm="on"` instructs `quickemu` to create a software emulated TPM
-    device using `swtpm`.
-
-# SPICE
-
-The following features are available while using the SPICE protocol:
-
--   Copy/paste between the guest and host
--   Host file sharing to the guest
--   USB device redirection
-
-To use SPICE add `--display spice` to the Quickemu invocation, this
-requires that the `spicy` client is installed, available from the
-`spice-client-gtk` package in Debian/Ubuntu.
-
-``` bash
-quickemu --vm ubuntu-22.04.conf --display spice
-```
-
-To enable copy/paste with a Windows guest, install [SPICE Windows guest
-tools](https://www.spice-space.org/download.html) in the guest VM.
-
-## Headless
-
-To start a VM with SPICE enabled, but no display attached use
-`--display none`. This requires that the `spicy` client is installed,
-available from the `spice-client-gtk` package in Debian/Ubuntu to
-connect to the running VM
-
-``` bash
-quickemu --vm ubuntu-22.04.conf --display none
-```
-
-You can also use the `.ports` file in the VM directory to lookup what
-SSH and SPICE ports the VM is connected to.
-
-``` bash
-cat ubuntu-22.04/ubuntu-22.04.ports
-```
-
-If, for example, the SSH port is set to 22220, and assuming your VM has
-a started SSH service (details vary by OS), you can typically SSH into
-it from the host as follows:
-
-``` bash
-ssh -p 22220 your_vm_user@localhost
-```
-
-# Accessibility
-
-Qemu provides support for using BrlAPI to display braille output on a
-real or fake device.
-
-``` bash
-quickemu --vm ubuntu-22.04.conf --braille --display sdl
-```
-
-# BIOS and EFI
-
-Since Quickemu 2.1.0 `efi` is the default boot option. If you want to
-override this behaviour then add the following line to you VM
-configuration to enable legacy BIOS.
-
--   `boot="legacy"` - Enable Legacy BIOS boot
-
-# Tuning CPU cores, RAM & disks
-
-By default, Quickemu will calculate the number of CPUs cores and RAM to
-allocate to a VM based on the specifications of your host computer. You
-can override this default behaviour and tune the VM configuration to
-your liking.
-
-Add additional lines to your virtual machine configuration:
-
--   `cpu_cores="4"` - Specify the number of CPU cores allocated to the
-    VM
--   `ram="4G"` - Specify the amount of RAM to allocate to the VM
--   `disk_size="16G"` - Specify the size of the virtual disk allocated
-    to the VM
-
-## Disk preallocation
-
-Preallocation mode (allowed values: `off` (default), `metadata`,
-`falloc`, `full`). An image with preallocated metadata is initially
-larger but can improve performance when the image needs to grow.
-
-Specify what disk preallocation should be used, if any, when creating
-the system disk image by adding a line like this to your VM
-configuration.
-
--   `preallocation="metadata"`
-
-## CD-ROM disks
-
-If you want to expose an ISO image from the host to guest add the
-following line to the VM configuration:
-
--   `fixed_iso="/path/to/image.iso"`
-
-## Floppy disks
-
-If you're like [Alan Pope](https://popey.com) you'll probably want to
-mount a floppy disk image in the guest. To do so add the following line
-to the VM configuration:
-
--   `floppy="/path/to/floppy.img"`
-
-# File Sharing
-
-All File Sharing options will only expose `~/Public` (or localised
-variations) for the current user to the guest VMs.
-
-## Samba 🐧 🍏 🪟
-
-If `smbd` is available on the host, Quickemu will automatically enable
-the built-in QEMU support for exposing a Samba share from the host to
-the guest.
-
-You can install the minimal Samba components on Ubuntu using:
-
-``` bash
-sudo apt install --no-install-recommends samba
-```
-
-If everything is set up correctly, the `smbd` address will be printed
-when the virtual machine is started. For example:
-
-     - smbd:     On guest: smb://10.0.2.4/qemu
-
-If using a Windows guest, right-click on "This PC", click "Add a network
-location", and paste this address, removing `smb:` and replacing forward
-slashes with backslashes (in this example `\\10.0.2.4\qemu`).
-
-## SPICE WebDAV 🐧 🪟
-
--   TBD
-
-## VirtIO-9P 🐧 🍏
-
--   TBD
-
-# Network port forwarding
-
-Add an additional line to your virtual machine configuration. For
-example:
-
--   `port_forwards=("8123:8123" "8888:80")`
-
-In the example above:
-
--   Port 8123 on the host is forwarded to port 8123 on the guest.
--   Port 8888 on the host is forwarded to port 80 on the guest.
-
-# Disable networking
-
-To completely disable all network interfaces in a guest VM add this
-additional line to your virtual machine configuration:
-
--   `network="none"`
-
-# Restricted networking
-
-You can isolate the guest from the host (and broader network) using the
-restrict option, which will restrict networking to just the guest and
-any virtual devices.
-
-This can be used to prevent software running inside the guest from
-phoning home while still providing a network inside the guest. Add this
-additional line to your virtual machine configuration:
-
--   `network="restrict"`
-
-# Bridged networking
-
-Connect your virtual machine to a preconfigured network bridge. Add an
-additional line to your virtual machine configuration:
-
--   `network="br0"`
-
-If you want to have a persistent MAC address for your bridged network
-interface in the guest VM you can add `macaddr` to the virtual machine
-configuration. QEMU requires that the MAC address is in the range:
-**52:54:00:AB:00:00 - 52:54:00:AB:FF:FF**
-
-So you can generate your own MAC addresses with:
-
--   `macaddr="52:54:00:AB:51:AE"`
-
-# USB redirection
-
-Quickemu supports USB redirection via SPICE pass-through and host
-pass-through.
-
-## SPICE redirection (recommended)
-
-Using SPICE for USB pass-through is easiest as it doesn't require any
-elevated permission, start Quickemu with `--display spice` and then
-select `Input` -\> `Select USB Device for redirection` from the menu to
-choose which device(s) you want to attach to the guest.
-
-## Host redirection **NOT Recommended**
-
-**USB host redirection is not recommended**, it is provided purely for
-backwards compatibility to older versions of Quickemu. Using SPICE is
-preferred, see above.
-
-Add an additional line to your virtual machine configuration. For
-example:
-
--   `usb_devices=("046d:082d" "046d:085e")`
-
-In the example above:
-
--   The USB device with vendor_id 046d and product_id 082d will be
-    exposed to the guest.
--   The USB device with vendor_id 046d and product_id 085e will be
-    exposed to the guest.
-
-If the USB devices are not writable, `quickemu` will display the
-appropriate commands to modify the USB device(s) access permissions,
-like this:
-
-     - USB:      Host pass-through requested:
-                  - Sennheiser Communications EPOS GTW 270 on bus 001 device 005 needs permission changes:
-                    sudo chown -v root:user /dev/bus/usb/001/005
-                    ERROR! USB permission changes are required 👆
-
-# TPM
-
-Since Quickemu 2.2.0 a software emulated TPM device can be added to
-guest virtual machines. Just add `tpm="on"` to your VM configuration.
-`quickget` will automatically add this line to Windows 11 virtual
-machines.
-
-# All the options
-
-Here are the usage instructions:
-
-<!-- [[[cog
-import subprocess
-
-import cog
-# cannot use check_result() because of non-zero return
-result=subprocess.run(["./quickemu", "--help"], capture_output=True, text=True)
-help=result.stdout
-cog.out(f"\n```\n{help}\n```\n")
-]]] -->
-
-```
-

-  --version                         : Print version
-
-```
-<!-- [[[end]]] -->
-```
-## Desktop shortcuts
-
-Desktop shortcuts can be created for a VM, the shortcuts are saved in
-`~/.local/share/applications`. Here is an example of how to create a
-shortcut.
-
-``` bash
-quickemu --vm ubuntu-22.04-desktop.conf --shortcut
-```
-
-## Screen and window size (Linux guests only)
-
-`qemu` will always default to the primary monitor to display the VM's
-window.
-
-Without the `--screen` option, `quickemu` will look for the size of the
-smallest monitor, and use a size that fits on said monitor.
-
-The `--screen` option forces `quickemu` to use the size of the given
-monitor to compute the size of the window. **It won't use that monitor
-to display the VM's window if it's not the primary monitor**. This is
-useful if the primary monitor if not the smallest one, and if the VM's
-window doesn't need to be moved around.
-
-The `--screen` option is also useful with the `--fullscreen` option,
-again because `qemu` will always use the primary monitor. In order for
-the fullscreen mode to work properly, the resolution of the VM's window
-must match the resolution of the screen.
-
-To know which screen to use, type:
-
-``` bash
-xrandr --listmonitors | grep -v Monitors
-```
-
-The command will output something like this:
-
-``` bash
- 0: +*HDMI-0 2560/597x1440/336+1920+0  HDMI-0
- 1: +DVI-D-0 1920/527x1080/296+0+0  DVI-D-0
-```
-
-The first number is what needs to be passed to the `--screen` option.
-
-For example:
-
-``` bash
-quickemu --vm vm.conf --screen 0
-```
-
-The above uses the 2560x1440 screen to compute the size of the window,
-which Quickemu sizes to 2048x1152. Without the `--screen` option,
-Quickemu would have used the 1920x1080 monitor which results in a window
-size of 1664x936.

+Description: Quickemu creates and runs optimised virtual machines.
+ Simple script to "manage" Qemu virtual machines. Each virtual machine
+ configuration is a few lines long requiring minimal setup. The main objective
+ of the project is to enable quick testing of desktop Linux distributions where
+ the virtual machines configuration and disk images can be stored anywhere,
+ such as external USB storage or your home directory. Windows and macOS guests
+ are also supported.
