This note is a summary of my experience of installing Ubuntu for RISC-V on Qemu on a macOS host. This is just a personal experience. There may be other ways.
For simplicity, all files will be copied in one single dedicated directory and all commands will be run from that current directory.

This note is a summary of my experience of installing Ubuntu for IBM s390x on Qemu on a macOS host. This is just a personal experience. There may be other ways.
If you wonder why I had the silly idea of installing an IBM s390x virtual machine on macOS, 1) because it is possible, 2) because it is a big endian system which can be useful to test the portability of some applications.
For simplicity, all files will be copied in one single dedicated directory and all commands will be run from that current directory.

On Windows 10, the auto-login feature is notoriously dangerous for general use. However, it can be useful in some specific and restricted environments, for instance a single-user virtual machine running on a desktop system.
Auto-login is normally enabled using the Windows Settings or the Control Panel. This option is available only when Windows is activated. On single-user virtual machines, Windows is not always activated and it is not possible to access this option.
To directly enable auto-login, even on an unactivated Windows system, open a PowerShell window as administrator and run the following commands:
$RegistryPath = 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon'
