I had been waiting for a really long time for that video by the Linux Experiment (really good Linux youtuber) which is also available there: https://tilvids.com/w/bLPmGvqHd69ANdPdhRZXWV .

Sadly, as I’m on Fedora, there are a few differences from Ubuntu (DNF instead of APT) and I can’t use the PPA from the github links ( https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickgui/releases?page=1 , https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu?tab=readme-ov-file ).

I’m sure it’s easy once you get to the beginning of the video but since I can’t install quickgui and I’m stuck.

It would be really nice if I could get some help as I’m sure it’s fairly easy for someone more knowleadgable than me.

I should just add that I don’t even really know what DNF, APT and PPA are. I just know it’s related to my problem.

Edit: Basically I’m stuck at the part where you have to use the terminal to install quickgui with these lines

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannick-mauray/quickgui sudo apt update sudo apt install quickgui

quickemu actually has installation instructions for Fedora. I’m using OpenSUSE, which unlike Fedora doesn’t have installation instructions at all, that’s why I ended up using Distrobox. I looked at my command history and I think this is what I did.

  1. distrobox create --image ubuntu macos-vm-box
  2. distrobox enter macos-vm-box
  3. sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
  4. sudo apt install software-properties-common
  5. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannick-mauray/quickgui
  6. sudo apt update
  7. sudo apt install quickgui
  8. Use quickgui

It should also work on Fedora, but I may have missed some commands.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
