that gets you xfce
if you want the gnome desktop it's in the "desktop" bundle

Dear Clear Linux contributors,
I am Natnaree Asavaseri and currently undertaking a research internship at Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Japan. As a part of my research, I am analyzing the impact of Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub.
I would like to conduct a survey to understand how developers perceive the Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub, especially from contributors to Linux distributions and BSD families. So please consider voicing your opinion by allowing us up to 5 minutes to complete our short survey.

We would like to remind you that participation in this survey is completely voluntary and your identity is hidden for anonymity. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I assume the above check is just looking
at /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested and seeing N (I could be wrong
of course :)). Have you tried loading the KVM module with nested=1 to
actually enable it? See:

You can still run L2 nested guests on your L1 guest (L0 is the hypervisor)
in QEMU TCG mode (without KVM acceleration) but the performance is
generally pretty unsatisfactory, in the context of Kata it probably also
means you're losing the primary benefit of the solution (hardware-assisted
isolation of the resultant guests).

... you can't run virtual machines inside your VM ;-)
that's it.
the error is just stating that, not something super fatal or anything like that.
Hi,
I'm trying to run Clear Linux in a VM on the Proxmox hypervisor (KVM). For
that I've used the Clear Linux KVM image and I managed to make it run
successfully.
But on the first boot I noticed this kernel message on the console: "kvm:
no hardware support". I was a bit stumped since everything seemed to be
working correctly. So I started digging around and I found this page on the
Clear Linux web site to check processor compatibility:
https://clearlinux.org/documentation/clear-linux/get-started/compatibility-…
Here's the output of the script (executed on the host where the hypervisor
is running):
root(a)host:~/tmp# ./clear-linux-check-config.sh host

It seems that nested virtualization is required to run Clear Linux inside a
container (VM?)!
Could somebody explain why? What kinds of limitations can I expect if
hardware-assisted virtualization isn't exposed to the guest os?
Thanks
Christian
Thanks.
Though I was a little trigger-happy and it looks like the packaging hasn't
worked yet. I must have stopped it to fix some other issues in Autospec and
never came back to it. Doing so now.
