How would you make money if you can’t control the platform? Investing in the fediverse is a terrible investment case.

I don’t have any experiences with Gnome Boxes. However, there’s no denying VirtualBox is a lot more user-friendly as a GUI than virt-manager.

We’re talking about someone who wants to know how to easily distro-hop. That’s not an expert level user. Have you tried unmounting an iso image from a virt-manager VM? Yes, that’s how bad virt-manager is as a user-facing GUI.

Virt-manager is a pain to use.

The Kubuntu installer offers btrfs instead now (not sure about Ubuntu).

Is there an easy way to install distros on a ZFS root that are not supported by debootstrap?

However, please don’t use btrfs for anything else than mirrors. RAID setups are unstable.

I’d say the best way for beginners is to install VirtualBox. You will be able to take snapshots before you try something stupid, so you can always restore to a known good state. The GUI is also pretty much fool-proof.

Is the bootloader relockable with my own keys?
