Running virtual machines in the Flatpak sandbox
summary
Ports the actual virtualization stack into Flatpak so GNOME Boxes runs with full virtualization stack (libvirt, QEMU, SPICE) in Flatpak, builds everything in manifests and CI and ships nightly on Flathub as CI-built Flatpak bundles and nightly Flathub builds. VMs run, express installs and GPU virtualization work, simultaneous stable/dev installs keep user VMs separate, but USB passthrough and folder portals are missing and bridged networking isn’t implemented yet; current builds use --device=all permission as a temporary workaround.
