It makes about 10 years that I’ve been using #virtualbox and while it works great, having to install proprietary plugins or addons is not ideal. Specially on Arch where they come from the #AUR
So I’m very happy to share that I discovered #gnomeboxes by accident, because it was installed by default on #fedora
Great GNU/Linux support, and even with some minor #regedit , WinCrap 11 support . Not bad, I have found a replacement :)
Congrats to the #gnome developers !

@MsDropbear42 ...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand now, it's gone back to failing in similar ways as my older tests:
Neste vídeo, vou te mostrar, passo a passo, como instalar o Gnome Boxes no Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS.
Antes de começar... A ideia inicial para o vídeo era ensinar como compilar a versão atual do Gnome Boxes, pois o repositório do Pop!_OS 22.04 oferece a versão 42...

@zyx I like #gnomeboxes, its in #flatpak
I LOVE Gnome boxes! It's so simple and straight forward to use, and when I time to time get the urge to test out some Linux OSes, it's just soooo easy.
However, installing Windows 11 on it was always a hassle. But I recently found out about tiny11. And who would've guessed: it installs without any issue. So now I have a debloated Windows 11 in Gnome boxes.
Love to @felipeborges and to @ntdev ❣️

Oh holy heaven, gnome-boxes supports file transfer into a VM by drag and drop.
In case this piece of knowledge is useful to someone: if you install a guest OS in #GNOMEBoxes while the host computer's network is disabled (to dodge Windows' stupid SaaS-style "online accounts as system accounts" enshittification push, for example), there is a bug where GNOME Boxes will not be able to automatically set up the virtual bridge for the guest OS to be reachable from your LAN/host via the network: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-boxes/-/issues/1122
Eine einfache aber gute #VM ist #gnomeboxes Du kannst mit ihr sehr einfach und schnell alle #isoimage testen und starten. Solltest Du kein #ISO Image von deiner Software CD/DVD haben, kannst Du über #GnomeDisks dieses ISO-Image erstellen.
Zur Installation:
€€ apt-get update
€€ apt-get install gnome-boxes
€€ apt-get install gnome-disks
Besten Gruß
He cambiado VirtualBox por Gnome Boxes.
De momento me rinde igual y para mí uso no veo restricciones.
Creo que ya no queda ninguna aplicación QT en mi sistema.
Ich hab selbst noch nicht ausprobiert. Einige schwören auf #gnomeboxes.
Man, I can't get over how much better #GnomeBoxes is than #VirtualBox. It's bonkers.
I'm flabbergasted by it!
#GNOMEBoxes doesn't see symlinked ISOs:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-boxes/-/issues/1085
Not ideal for tracking your installation image files with :gitannex: #gitAnnex...
EDIT: Fail... 🤦 Turns out the ISOs were 'git annex drop'ped, so the symlinks were broken and it makes sense that Gnome Boxes didn't list them.
@jeze there are so many things you could learn in Linux, but most of them are optional, especially with modern distributions.
That's where phind is a great tool. Ask it a question about how to get started on your topic of interest, but don't try to learn everything at once.
I don't know your background, but it sounds like you have some windows/msdos (batch files?) exposure?
Install #linux, but then install a #virtualmachine using #gnomeboxes, something like #arch on the #vm might be good?
Wow, drag & dropping files between Nautilus and #GNOMEBoxes just works?! This is so cool 🤯
Makes it quite convenient to use #virtualization on #Linux for the one or two times per year where you might need to test something on Windows with some esoteric file.
