For this reason, Boxes does not provide many of the advanced options to tweak virtual machines provided by virt-manager. Virt-manager exposes those inner workings as much as possible while trying not to get them unnecessarily in the way.īoxes approaches the same problem from the opposite direction-it abstracts away as much as possible, with no apologies for doing so.īoxes is targeted towards a typical desktop end-user who wants either a very safe and easy way to try out new operating systems or new (potentially unstable) versions of her/his favorite operating system(s), or needs to connect to a remote machine (home-office connection being a typical use-case). Under the hood, Boxes shares the majority of its technical underpinnings with virt-manager: the libvirt virtualization API, the Linux Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor, and the qemu generic processor emulator.
