Thanks for the replies. I've used qemu since forever, which gnome-boxes uses as well. I undertook to begin following gnome-boxes development since LL 3.x because I thought the simplicity of the application was suited for new users desiring to run VMs. I have worked for a long time with bigger Windows Active Directory networks though not on my personal systems. At home I currently use WSL2 quite a bit now running Debian 10, not just as a Windows gadget, along with SSH which is much improved in Windows, though I really need a newer Windows box. Now that you can compile a WSL kernel from source it would be cool to have a Linux Lite iteration for WSL2. Ultimately the thing that always interests me is simplicity for new users and I think the combination of gnome-boxes and SSH hits that mark for a new user first experience with virtualization. I'm probably prejudiced a little too, as SSH has always been my favorite Nix application, and networking was actually what got me interested in and started with Linux years and years ago.
Stable, ease of use, simple intuitive interface, avoid the CLI, pretty much ideal for Windows refugees and mouse chasers.
