Finally got NetBSD to work(in a virtual machine).

I am also trying to make it so that I am able to directly login into this virtual machine (kind of like a desktop environment), but currently its a bit messy.

Here is a video showing how It works currently.

how did you setup the "login to VM", that's not something I've ever really tried before... i did something similar using custom login providers on windows to login to session where vcxsvr was running with a forwarded environment from wsl, never tried anything similar on linux.

Basically, I hacked my way through that. First I installed dwm from pacman(Because its light weight no other reason).

And then I made a script in one of the paths.

#!/bin/bash
dwm &
xsetroot -name "Starting $1 please wait..."
virsh start $1
xsetroot -name "$1 VM is ready! Connecting you to the VM."
virt-viewer -fw $1

And name it vmscript.

and then in /usr/share/xsessions

I make the following files,
netbsd,sh

#!/bin/bash

vmscript "netbsd9.0"

and netbsd.desktop
