Setup Gnome Boxes #21

Closed boredsquirrel closed 1 year ago

boredsquirrel commented 1 year ago

Boxen performs way better than Virtualbox, which is also hard to setup on fedora. The flatpak version has some problems, making it not very usable.

I'm not sure of all other processes, perhaps just make them optional since it can be too intruding when prompted to install a clipboard thingy, for example in my case I dont use windows and clipboard sync, what do you think?

iaacornus commented 1 year ago

also really seem excessive to me, it installs bunches of other stuff, and plugins and doesn't complete the task. Moreover, gnome boxes flatpak work most of the time and seem to be better solution than all these excessive modification

I have to try the flatpak again, it didnt work for me.

Sorry for not elaborating, these steps were only for running win10 in a vm. Which is, again, also pretty complicated.

Of course this will be optional

So Gnome Boxes Flatpak doesnt allow USB devices, so there is no real way to make Windows work. This could be a dealbreaker for people needing windows in a VM

that's a fair point I say, yeah this should be included

iaacornus commented 1 year ago

seems like its already tracked in #38

boredsquirrel commented 1 year ago

I switched to virt-manager and its way better in my experience. Would not advise Boxes anymore, it lacks features.

agreed about this, but this one should be layered right? I have not used this one, so i'm not sure if this would work in toolbox or something, this seems a better alternative

boredsquirrel commented 1 year ago

The silverblue devs think about preinstalling gnome-boxes, which I would then just remove and install virt-manager on the system instead. Its just way better.

Yes I also didnt try to run it in a podman container, I think that would be a mess.
