   @jorge I "found" a thing that makes #GNOME Boxes more reliable: You need to allow it to run in the background.

   I have heard about a new background utility for GNOME, but in my old #Debian GNOME, this can be done in Settings > Applications > Boxes.

     Question for @jorge and other container/immutable distro users:

     I get that #Toolbx and #Distrobox are the ways to add CLI apps to your immutable system, and Flatpak is for GUI apps.

     What I want to do is have a kind of GUI toolbox -- a containerized desktop that doesn't affect any of my system or user files.

     I'm using GNOME Boxes, but it's not robust enough -- it tends to crash if you change virtual desktops.

     Any ideas on the best way to run a container with a desktop?

     Adrian Cochrane repeated this.
