Just finished updating my SlackBuild to build QEMU 10.1 cleanly on Slackware 🎉

✨ Highlights of QEMU 10.1 on x86_64:

- Improved CPUID handling (guests see cleaner CPU flags)

- KVM backend improvements (TDX/SEV-SNP support for servers on newer kernels)

- TCG accuracy improvements

Still runs great on laptops for daily Slackware VM use

I’ve updated my SlackBuild so it compiles QEMU 10.1 without Meson option issues.

Still simple, still solid, still Slackware.

It was #MOPSLinux 3.1 and it was based on the Slackware 10.1 with some additionals, like support of Russian language and custom installer.

Why Slackware does things differently — and why that’s by design.

It's not about being better, it's about being Slackware.

Insightful for those who want to understand the design choices under the hood.
