I have spent the last two years rebuilding GNOME Boxes from the ground up, and now I am ready to share this beta version with you!

In case you haven't seen it already, Bilal created "goblint", a linter for GObject C code https://belmoussaoui.com/blog/23-goblin-linter
🚂 on my way to @LAS@floss.social!

@larma@mastodon.social this was proposed a few years ago and, if I remember correctly, Apple had some licensing restrictions which would require one to have Apple hardware to virtualize MacOS. I'm not sure if that's the case. Do you know?
I know of people that have managed to run MacOS in the old-Boxes, so it is technically doable. I just don't know if it is legal.

@funkybuddha@mastodon.green i have never tried Umbrel but i will add it to my list. It's important to pick the right OS template when creating the VM. That impacts on the virtual devices that get used on your box. So if your OS Is not listed, you can always try with a similar one. It seems that Umbrel is Debian based, so I'd try selecting Debian when creating the VM.

@phosh@social.phosh.mobi @NGIZero@mastodon.xyz fantastic! Looking forward to assist with the GNOME Settings bits!
In (sort of related) news, I recently worked on exposing the primary-sim-slot property from ModemManager in our GNOME wwan settings. Looking forward to more work in this space.

@tbernard@mastodon.social Alberto is interested in mentoring a GSoC project for that. It's yet to be confirmed but if it goes forward, it would be nice to count with a designer to co-mentor or at least commit some hours to this.
