From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

GNOME Boxes because it doesn't require 5 academic degrees to set up and I'm a GNOME user.
Same.
The lack of graphics acceleration is a bit painful though.
VirtualBox won't work on Fedora 40 AFAICT, and once installed it can't be uninstalled.
It has graphics acceleration.
Yes afaik it should have it.
I'll have another look. Didn't seem to be an option to have it on a Windows guest when I installed it.
It also isn't entirely foss
Gross
Grow up. People use different software to you. It's not the end of the world.
Besides, Gnome is great.
Real for me it was problematic it was barely customizable and tracker3 randomly broke most of my apps
