Already fixed for ages.
I see marking Q35 as the default machine a first step.
Maybe the better option is to go the arm route: Just don't define a
default, so users have to specify pc or q35. That will make them notice
there is a world beside 'pc', and we also avoid breaking things
silently.
It can work, sure. And we can add user hints: "Use q35 for ...., select
pc if..."
If QEMU removes the default, then libvirt will have to hardcode
'pc' as the default to maintain back compatibility, so I don't
think that ends up as a net win
Can't libvirt preserve 'pc' for existing domains, while defaulting to q35
the creation of new domains ? This way it aligns with Gerd's proposal of
no default
x86 machine.
Thanks,
