GNOME Boxes is a desktop client to view or use local virtual machines. Boxes is intentionally simple and easy to use.

Hardware virtualization is required.

Previously, GNOME Boxes could also be used to connect to remote computers, but that feature is now provided by the GNOME Connections app.

I couldn't get the flatpak version to accept ISOs or create a new VM with the download option. The other option for Boxes in the software center is a little older and works fine for me on Linux Mint Xia 22.1.

After not being able to get the flatpak to work I installed this version. I had a "No KVM" error so I had to install Virt-manager to get it to work.

Es werden nur sehr wenige Distributionen gefunden. Ein Kali Linux bspw. ist nicht in der Liste vorhanden und dem Programm gänzlich unbekannt. Zudem lande ich nach dem Download oder Import einer ISO immer im selben Fenster, das anstatt der Eigenschaften der VM lediglich ewig lang eine Ladeanimation anzeigt. Weiter komme ich nicht. Im Endeffekt also nicht benutzbar. Aufgrund fehlender weiterer Erfahrungen mit den VMs selbst kann ich nicht mehr als den einen Stern vergeben.

Simple, fast, easy to add OS's, easy to use external drives with.

All attempts to run a VM fail either from conversion of established VM to creating a new one from a fresh download. BTW, LM is not one of the ISO download choices? WTH? Support options do not exist and similar users abound with no fixes but plenty of condescending comments towards them. VB is far superior at this point. LM 19.3.

Well Dang! That was a shedload easier to set up than the others. External drives work OK (although it swipes thm from my host while mounted but not a big deal). Internet connection works OK. It has become much easier to use virtual systems since I tried this.

For me to get it work i have to go to 'Users and Groups' and add myself to group 'kvm'. Restart after that.

A brilliant piece of software. It makes creating a virtual machine very easy. Little technical knowledge required.
