why so old qemu version?

[kasperk81]

The latest QEMU version is 10.1.2 (qemu.org/download).

Currently, Docker Desktop (both macOS and Windows) is stuck on an outdated version:

docker run --rm --privileged --pid=host alpine nsenter -t 1 -m -u -n -i qemu-x86_64 --version
# qemu-x86_64 version 8.1.5 (v8.1.5)

Since 8.1.5 → 10.1.2, there have been 34 releases with numerous bug fixes across architectures. Many of these fixes improve stability, performance, and compatibility for Linux VMs.

QEMU should be updated in Docker Desktop as soon as possible.
