November 6th: Create a virtual machine for Archlinux on my macOS using QEMU:

• Download the Archlinux iso image
• Create a qemu disk: {% highlight bash %} qemu-img create disk.img 15G {% endhighlight %}
• Start the machine and install Archlinux {% highlight bash %} qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom archlinux-2021.11.01-x86_64.iso -boot order=d -drive format=raw,file=disk.img -m 8G {% endhighlight %}
• Start the machine after installing {% highlight bash %} qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=raw,file=disk.img -m 2G {% endhighlight %}
• Install dependencies: {% highlight bash %} pacman -S gcc git make {% endhighlight %}
• Clone linux: {% highlight bash %} git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git {% endhighlight %}
