Virtualizing Nitrux

Starting with Nitrux 5.0.0, we have decided to discontinue integration and support features intended for running Nitrux as a guest OS. While Nitrux will continue to run in most hypervisors, components such as SPICE integration, the QXL X.Org driver, and the Hyper-V modules, daemons, and OpenRC services are no longer included.

Despite our previous efforts to provide guidance, we repeatedly encountered users applying incorrect configurations, further limiting performance in already-constrained virtualized environments, among other issues stemming from hypervisor quirks. We never intended Virtual Machines to be the platform for using Nitrux.

Nitrux is tuned and optimized for physical systems, where users can experience its design, performance, and intent as we built it.

Important Notes

Bug reports regarding running Nitrux as a guest VM will be closed.
