Long-story-short; I run ArcaOS (backwards compatable OS/2 successor) |
2 |
as a guest on QEMU on my desktop. The Lenovo Thinkpad has the "vmx" cpu |
3 |
flag, so QEMU is theoretically doable. But the mouse is extremely |
4 |
flakey, to the point of unusability, under QEMU on the Thinkpad. I've |
5 |
tried various tweaks, but no luck. I "asked Mr. Google", but only found |
6 |
other people with the same problem... and no solution. |

Plan B) According to the ARCA NOAE website |
9 |
https://www.arcanoae.com/wiki/arcaos/installation-planning/virtual-machine-configuration/oracle-vm-virtualbox/ |
10 |
ArcaOs can be installed in a VirtualBox VM, masquarading as OS/2 (I did |
11 |
say it was backwards compatable). |

Are there any booby-traps to watch out for? What I'm most concerned |
14 |
about is the default "qt5" USE flag. Is VirtualBox usable without the |
15 |
qt5 GUI? |
