Hi All,
What’s everyones favorite front end for KVM? I’m looking to use KVM for
several VMs (Win, CentOS6, CentOS7) and was looking for something a bit
easier to start out on than raw virt-manager.
Host OS: MX Linux 18 [Foundation, Debian Stable 9.6 (Stretch)]
Desktop: TDE 14.0.6
Thanks,
Michael
PS:
This was my original question, before I realized, asking about a front
end was a better choice. Pretty much only applicable if someone here
has used, and liked, Boxes...
Was: Figuring out Gnome dependencies?
I haven’t used Gnome in more than a decade. I found this Gnome app I’d
like to try out:
Boxes, Virtualization made simple
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Boxes
https://www.openhub.net/p/gnome-boxes
and was wondering how to A) find out what its dependencies are and B)
how to actually install it.
A side excursion, trying to figure out B), lead me to Flatpak[1]. I’ve
never heard of it before, anyone have any experience or opinions on it?
Mostly I don’t want to end up installing most of Gnome just to try out
an app.

Hi,
my favorite KVM frontend is libvirt == virsh used in cli :)
The advantage is that it is the same base, which is used also by other
tools like virt-top, virt-manager, WebVirtCloud, OpenNebula and of course
OpenStack.
Cheers
