I’ve been trying to boot the PikaOS ISO as a CD in Virtual Machine Manager but get an error on boot. Has anyone else experienced this? Did you figure out how to make it work?

    Virt manager does but only during creation. You have to check the option for “customize VM before creation” or whatever that option is on the last screen. Then there’s a firmware drop down where you can select OVMF

      Hey you’re right!!! Thank you so much! Hahahaha nice!

      EDIT: After some testing, the screenshot here is wrong. (I couldn’t change it)

      The correct choice is :

      UEFI x86_64 /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE_4M.secboot.fd

        Glad you got it working. It’s not exactly the most straight forward setup unless you use virt manager a lot.
