kvm-spice(1)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, the manual name here is kvm-spice(1) 🎀 and it's got two names that point to the same thing: kvm-spice and qemu-system-x86_64-spice 💖. They're both just compatibility names for qemu-system-x86_64. So basically, a little alias situation 🦋

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so both names are aliases for qemu-system-x86_64 🫶, but kvm-spice is the one with the extra glow-up: it turns on kvm native hardware mode by default ✨. Lowkey iconic.

These names are only still around for backward compatibility 🙈 with the old package, back when spice-enabled qemu came in its own separate package. Now the main qemu-system stuff has spice built right in 🔥, so it's giving "one app does it all" energy.

Please use qemu-system-x86_64 instead of the old compat names. Those old names are just hanging on for the people who still need them 💀
