feat: add Quickemu Manager plugin by GughNess · Pull Request #856 · noctalia-dev/noctalia-plugins

GughNess · 2026-05-13T18:43:30Z

Hello Noctalia team! 👋

I would like to submit my new plugin: Quickemu Manager. It's a native Noctalia shell plugin to seamlessly manage, download, and create Quickemu virtual machines directly from the desktop bar.

Features:

Dynamic VM Management: Start, edit, and delete virtual machines directly from the UI.
Instant OS Downloads: Built-in support for downloading over 700+ operating systems via quickget, complete with real-time progress bars and a filtered search list.
Dynamic Theming: Fully integrated with Quickshell's dynamic Color and Style APIs to match the user's global Noctalia theme.
Safe Execution: Process commands are executed as arrays to prevent shell injection vulnerabilities.

All files (QML, JSON manifest, and README with preview) are included in the quickemu folder. Let me know if any changes are required before merging. Thanks!
