ArcaOS started at version 5.0 to pay homage to the fact that it's |
| 12 |
effectively OS/2 Warp 5. |

Yes, but the Google hits I got were for people trying to run various |
| 19 |
versions of Windows and linux as a QEMU guest on a Lenovo laptop. This |
| 20 |
indicates a more general Lenovo-QEMU conflict, going beyond ArcaOS. If |
| 21 |
my system stays stable for a week or so, I'll consider submitting a FAQ |
| 22 |
entry to QEMU.org for Lenovo laptops. |
