minus-squarealteredEnvoy@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·1 month agoHmm, wouldn’t the virt manager just be a frontend and communicate with the virtd socket though?
minus-squaredeadcade@lemmy.deadca.delinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·1 month agovirt-manager only requires access to the libvirtd socket, as long as the flatpak.has that as default configuration (which I imagine would be the case), there’s zero difference beteween flatpak and native.
