novaTopFlexHype for the Future 159/284 → List of Supported Operating Systems in GNOME Boxes
Overview Within the context of GNOME Boxes, an official catalog of available supported operating systems and even associated icons is available for the application and context. Such icons may vary by system version and other factors; however, the most common operating systems for the GNOME Boxes application are often intended to be listed first. List of Operating Systems in Gnome Boxes The following list of supported operating systems in GNOME Boxes assumes a host running Ubuntu 24.04.2 […]
⁉️I installed Windows10 on my Linux Distro, as there are still no FOSS solutions to update a Garmin GPS and to backup/manage an iPhone.
I found out that Gnome Boxes is nice but useless, as the iPhone crashes the Win10 Machine due to the USB not being reverse-compatible to USB-2(ehci), but that 'Virt-Manager' works, if you adjust it to USB-2 from the drop-down menu.
Andreas MoorGNOME Boxes: Schlanke Virtualisierung für den Linux-Desktop (und warum es für Admins trotzdem spannend ist)
Einleitung Virtualisierung unter Linux ist längst kein Nischenthema mehr – vom Heim-Server bis zur Enterprise-Umgebung gehören virtuelle Maschinen zum Alltag. Während Tools wie virt-manager, VirtualBox oder VMware Pro jede Menge Schalter und Hebel für Admins bieten, fühlt sich das für einfache Tests oft wie Overkill an. Genau hier setzt GNOME Boxes an: Eine minimalistische, aber ernstzunehmende Oberfläche für KVM/QEMU, die Virtualisierung auf dem Linux-Desktop radikal […]
T.F.G.upgraded to #Debian #Trixie today.
Did not check if #VirualBox is compatible yet.
Now using #GnomeBoxes
Having headaches for the rest of the day
lave 💙💛Interesting. When I use the current #manjaro-#gnome-25.0.6-250730-linux612.iso in #gnomeBoxes it no longer sets the resolution according to my window size.
Luckily I still had manjaro-gnome-25.0.0-250414-linux612.iso in my archive which works fine.
jablkoziemne@governa kool, I hope it will also be distributed as #flatpak #package. It would have the same limitations as flatpak version of #gnomeboxes but for the most basic usage of spinning up #virtualmachine without any special network interfaces or other stuff that requires privilaged user intervention.
@ProfessorCode I believe more people are using #kvm based #virtualization instead of #virtualbox. So there should be more, and better guides for installing #virtmanager, #gnomeboxes or using #Virsh. But also why these guides are unnecessary verbose I suspect its because of #seo so the webpages get ranked higher in #google index, and have more views which should corespond to increased #ad revenue.
OTS@rsm92 The only thing I miss in #gnomeboxes is installing systems in an external disk like virtualbox.
RSM92It 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 !
