Running Windows 11 on Linux with KVM/QEMU

This guide walks through the full process of running Windows 11 on Linux using KVM/QEMU and Virt-Manager,  the most robust and future-proof setup available today. While tools like VirtualBox still exist, KVM/QEMU has quietly become the gold standard on Linux. It offers: Near-native CPU performance Excellent disk and network throughput Proper UEFI, Secure Boot, and TPM support Long-term compatibility with Windows 11 updates Before starting, make sure you have: A Linux system with virtualization enabled in BIOS Intel: VT-x / VT-d AMD: SVM / IOMMU At least 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended) Around 80 GB of free disk space A Windows 11 ISO The VirtIO drivers ISO Step 1: Check Virtualization Support Open a terminal and run: egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo If the result is 1 or higher , virtualization is enabled. If it returns 0 , you’ll need to enable it in your BIOS before continuing. Step 2: Install KVM, QEMU, and Virt-Manager On Ubuntu / Debian-based systems: sudo apt update sudo...

Install Tokio runtime


  1. Ensure Rust is Installed
    If you haven't installed Rust yet, make sure to do so using rustup:

    winget install -e --id Rustlang.Rustup
    
  2. Create a New Rust Project
    If you're starting fresh, create a new Rust project:

    cargo new my_project
    cd my_project
    
  3. Add Tokio as a Dependency
    Open the Cargo.toml file in your project and add Tokio:

    [dependencies]
    tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
    

    Alternatively, you can run:

    cargo add tokio --features full
    
  4. Write a Basic Tokio Application
    Now, create a simple async function in main.rs:

    use tokio::time::{sleep, Duration};
    
    #[tokio::main]
    async fn main() {
        println!("Hello, Tokio!");
        sleep(Duration::from_secs(2)).await;
        println!("Done!");
    }
    
  5. Build and Run
    Compile and execute your program:

    cargo run
