From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've tried this solution but could not get it to work. Do I need to install Spice on Arch? Do I have to run QEMU with certain parameters?

Are you running QEMU directly, or through libvirt (GNOME Boxes, Virt Manager)?
EDIT: NVM I see you’ve answered that in another comment. I believe you can’t do this with QEMU directly. If you don’t need to be able to edit the VM config besides core count, disk size and RAM use GNOME Boxes. Otherwise use Virt Manager.
