Droppie [infosec] 🐨:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird: :vegan:<p>In the wee small hours i decided to give <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/GnomeBoxes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GnomeBoxes</span></a> another chance as a possible alternative. Chose to install via <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/flatpak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flatpak</span></a>, coz my Host is :archlinux: :kde: :plasma: <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ArchLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArchLinux</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/KDEPlasma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDEPlasma</span></a> & i did not wish to risk possible gnome vs plasma file conflicts. </p><p>It did a fine job of installing an <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ArchLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArchLinux</span></a> VM [which i completed using the latest <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/ArchInstall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArchInstall</span></a> v3.0.3], so then in an act of gross stupidity i ridiculously chose to see if it could handle a win10 VM via a 3-yr old ISO i have lying around. As i abandoned windoze "for real" in 2014, i had forgotten the many hours of time-wasting bullshit involved, at the end of which instead of getting something decent, you just get... <em>windoze</em>, ugh. </p><p>Anyway, so far it seems that GnomeBoxes is going ok, which makes a nice change as all prior tests of older versions failed to work properly. Doubt though atm that it'll persuade me to give up on <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/qemu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>qemu</span></a> / <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/kvm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kvm</span></a> / <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/libvirt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>libvirt</span></a> / <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/VirtManager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VirtManager</span></a>. GB has no facility to Suspend VMs, so they need to be fully shutdown, which is a drag. Also, the FP version does not support USB transfer, which is a bugger, & so far i've not made <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/SharedFolders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SharedFolders</span></a> work [but think i know why].</p>
