# Make sure qemu-session is available as an URI in virt-manager running the following in your terminal: 
# gsettings set org.virt-manager.virt-manager.connections uris "['qemu:///system', 'qemu:///session']"
# gsettings set org.virt-manager.virt-manager.connections autoconnect "['qemu:///system', 'qemu:///session']"


# Create then shutdown a diskless virtual machine with qemu-session, a spice display without 3D acceleration, using virt-install.
# Works with any GPUs on the host but does not provide 3D acceleration. Does expect an EFI-based Linux guest. 
# No ISO is attached to this virtual machine. The user have to manually add one.
