Matt shows VirtualBox the door and gives Gnome Boxes a whirl...for his first time - best read while listening to AC/DC - Thunderstruck.
Every once in a blue moon, I "get a wild hair" and decide to try something new. Well, new to me, that is. And there is no question in my mind that Boxes qualifies. After all, I've been a VirtualBox user for years. Before that, some limited usage with VMWare.
What the heck is Boxes?
Setting aside the fact that Gnome Boxes sounds like a "Smurfs cartoon spin-off, " it looks pretty interesting. Boxes uses QEMU, KVM, and libvirt virtualization technologies. And together, they form Voltron; er, I mean Boxes.
At its core, the idea behind Boxes appears to focus on providing its users with the ability to run virtual machines in a reliable, no-nonsense environment. Keeping with its Gnome core user experience, the entire software layout is pretty minimalistic.
