  1. Hype 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.

  6. 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.

  7. GNOME 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 […]

  8. upgraded to #Debian #Trixie today.

    Did not check if #VirualBox is compatible yet.

    Now using #GnomeBoxes

    Having headaches for the rest of the day

    #fail #sigh

  9. 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 !

  10. 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...

  12. Oh holy heaven, gnome-boxes supports file transfer into a VM by drag and drop.

    @gnomeboxes #GnomeBoxes #VM

  13. 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: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-b

    #libvirt #virtualization #QEMU #Linux

  14. Man, I can't get over how much better #GnomeBoxes is than #VirtualBox. It's bonkers.

    I'm flabbergasted by it!

    #Linux

  15. doesn't see symlinked ISOs:

    gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-b

    Not ideal for tracking your installation image files with :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.

  16. 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.

  17. Not holding my breath there, but in case #sysprof performance profiling data can provide new insights to allow optimizing #GNOMEBoxes / #QEMU / Spice guest tools / #virtio graphics to provide faster Windows #virtualization on #Linux without VirtualBox, here is a fresh bug report on window dragging performance specifically: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-b

    Also profiled the suspicious constant CPU usage while idle: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-b
    #GNOME

  18. It's a tiny bit annoying to share files between a linux host to a windows guest.

    Right now, I have a firewall-protected samba server that can only be connected to from my VM to share files but I don't love this. When I tried webdav sharing via spice, though, the performance was too slow and a bit annoying to work around.

    I'm almost tempted to just use syncthing and forget about the file redundancy. Thoughts fediverse? #technology #vm #gnome #gnomeboxes #virtualmachine

  19. My development environment for now:

    1. Mac (with macOS) + Microsoft Remote Desktop, using Tailscale for easy access to:
    2. Linux PC running @UniversalBlue Bazzite, effectively working full-time as a VM host for:
    3. GNOME Boxes (@gnomeboxes), with development-ready @xubuntu 24.04 and testing daily builds of 24.04 minimal and desktop ISOs

    Everything works together so nicely and makes working from anywhere convenient and easy.

  20. In case you've tried using @xubuntu with @gnomeboxes or
    virt-manager and experienced random crashes during startup or mid-session, removing the libva-wayland2 package seems to stop the crashing entirely for me.

    Command line:
    sudo apt remove libva-wayland2
