Assumpte: Re: [DNG] tryng to install virt-manager on Devuan 4 : ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'
"virt isn't letting me do the things I want to do coz it's a limited
wrapper and the things I want to do are beyond its limits, so scripting
qemu directly is much easier".

you touched the very heart of the question. To allow a software or a piece
of hardware to do things which they were not expected to do is my
ultimate goal. I think that it is stimulating and it allows me to fight
against the rules that will never do what makes me happy or what is for me
cheaper. So I spend my whole days programming old software and old hardware
to extend their life (yes,I'm retired from work). And anyway,I don't know
if virt-manager has some limitations in the scenario where I am working.
Probably I make some mistakes due to my inexperience and lack of knowledge.

Where do you live ? Even here,where I live,there is a crisis. I think it is
increasing all over the western world. I have a theory for this....
