A friendly reminder that you should make sure CPU virtualisation is turned on in your BIOS before creating a virtual machine (in this case, using GNOME Boxes)

Overall, work silently = good design; fail silently = bad design.
It's one of Unix philosophy design principles, by the way: if a program fails it should make as much stink about it as possible.
@tasket Indeed :)
@aral FWIW, I like the idea of making "VM containers" more popular. But I have little confidence Gnome org would do this right; really wish it was someone else.
Whenever I start using a Gnome product regularly, I have to be on guard for:
1. Useful features keep disappearing
2. dotNET tech crammed into it to make Microsoft happy/richer
3. Decisions that show they are oblivious to any foundational notions of security
@aral Interesting anecdote:
Qubes OS devs had to drop support for Gnome desktop bc it blends app-controlled content with the window frame (i.e. the OS!). Can't enforce a visual security context that way.
