Boo!
What’s wrong with that?
Not OP but I'd rather not deal with multiple application distribution methods. I'd rather package Boxes myself (I use NixOS BTW) than use Flatpak.
I do understand, NixOS is soo good, I hope it will be possible for packagers to package it for distros, although not as easily as before
I don't like flatpak and don't want it on my system.
Please elaborate why?
It doesn’t solve any problems that I have. It adds complexity.
Yeah so just subjective info, thanks for sharing.
Boxes is so goated. Every other VM software for linux seems unnecessarily complicated. We all know how a “good” VM is: hardware accelerated, optional host integration, optional GPU passthrough, easy way to connect to the network. This stuff should work OOTB, but it almost never works ootb in other software. Boxes is like UTM for linux
Yes its needed. There are some serious bugs that needs ironing out.
Awesome, looking forward to trying the new version
