Want you try new Operating system?
How?
DistroHopper
Quickly download, create and run VM of any(TODO) operating system.
Licensed under AGPL3
Still Testing version!
quickly create and run VMs
As a base excellent quickemu
I added:
GUI
using yad
.Desktop file generator
It will simple generate .desktop files for every supported VM in quickemu. So you can copy it anywhere...
And I mean every supported distro.
you can download new distro with few clicks of a mouse
You need to run quickgui just for update supported distros.
Simple GUI using yad --notebook
See it in action on youtube...
or command line?...
TUI
using fzf
Why I creating this?
Because I wanna learn
-
Linux
-
Bash
-
yad
-
project management
-
contribute to open source
Because I wanna play with Quickemu
And easily add new distro to it

Project chat group:
If anyone wanna join, here is one SimpleX way
(check the software! even if you don't want chat about DistroHopper) Simplex website
Without these amazing projects it wouldn't be posible:
GUI depends on yad
TUI depends on fzf
