<summary>Virtualization made simple</summary>
<description>
<p>
- A simple GNOME 3 application to manage virtual systems. Unlike
- some other virtual machine management software, Boxes is targeted towards
- typical desktop end-users. For this reason, Boxes will not provide many
- advanced options to tweak virtual machines. Instead Boxes will focus on
- getting things working out of the box with very little input from user.
- </p>
- <p>
- You want to install Boxes if you just want a very safe and easy way to try
- out new operating systems or new (potentially unstable) versions of your
- favorite operating system(s).
+ Select an operating system and let Boxes download and install it for you
+ in a virtual machine.
</p>
+
+ <p>Features:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Download freely available operating systems.</li>
+ <li>Automatically install CentOS Stream, Debian, Fedora, Microsoft Windows, OpenSUSE, Red
+ Hat Enterprise Linux, and Ubuntu.</li>
+ <li>Create virtual machines from operating system images with a couple of clicks.</li>
+ <li>Limit the resources (memory and storage) your virtual machines consume from your system.</li>
+ <li>Take snapshots of virtual machines to restore to previous states.</li>
+ <li>Redirect USB devices from your physical machine into virtual machines.</li>
+ <li>3D acceleration for some of the supported operating systems.</li>
+ <li>Automatically resize virtual machines displays to the window size.</li>
+ <li>Share clipboard between your system and virtual machines.</li>
+ <li>Share files to virtual machines by dropping them from your file manager into the Boxes window.</li>
+ <li>Setup Shared Folders between your system and virtual machines.</li>
+ </ul>
