Description
While virt-manager does a very good job as a virtual machine management software, it's very much tailored for system administration and virtual machines. Boxes, on the other hand, 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). For this reason, Boxes does not provide many of the advanced options to tweak virtual machines provided by virt-manager. Instead, Boxes focuses on getting things working out of the box with very little input from user.
That said, Boxes shares a lot of code with virt-manager project, mainly in the form of libvirt, libosinfo and qemu.
Installation via Apt repository
sudo apt install gnome-boxes
Really easy way to setup and run a virtual machine. However some features as installing GNOME OS (Only works on real hardware or Flathub Boxes) are available only via the Flatpack installation.
