Bootable Gentoo QCOW2 disk images - ready for the cloud! Feb 20, 2025We are very happy to announce new official downloads on our website and our mirrors: Gentoo for amd64 (x86-64) and arm64 (aarch64), as immediately bootable disk images in qemu’s QCOW2 format! We recommend using the “no root password” images and qemu system emulation. Boot them up, use as login name “root”, and you will immediately get a fully functional Gentoo shell. You need qemu with the target architecture (aarch64 or x86_64) enabled in QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS, and the UEFI firmware.
