I recently installed nightly to see how it looks so I am looking forward what additions to virtualisation manager you have yet to reveal.

I was little worried when I didn’t see option to manually import Windows ISO in VM creation so I am glad to hear you have more improvements lined up.

Good point about the need for open source getting paid. A lot of people think open source is somehow magically developed by “the community” and doesn’t need any evil for-profit companies. Sadly these people don’t realize that there is a limit what a person can do for free as a hobby and for the bigger things people need and deserve to get paid for their work and time.

Without paid developers things can just end up like Gluster. Project basically dead and no “community” to save it.

I had a double take, but I first read @kris t-shirt as saying SMR DESTROYER. :rofl:
