While you can download pre-made images (more on that later), building your own ensures security and custom driver integration.

Some projects provide windows-10.qcow2 images with CloudBaseInit for unattended setup.

Have a base Windows10-base.qcow2 (never write to it). Create child images:

qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b Windows10-base.qcow2 VM1.qcow2
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b Windows10-base.qcow2 VM2.qcow2

Both VMs boot from the same base, but write changes to their own 100KB overlay. This saves immense disk space in lab environments.

    The Rise of AI Book Slop

    We often hear these days of “AI slop,” a term that’s used to refer to the massive amounts of poor-quality AI-created material that is churned out and unceremoniously dumped onto the internet.
