GNOME Boxes: Free/Libre

A fork of GNOME Boxes with the intent of changing the software to only recommend free/libre operating systems.

The Issue

GNOME Boxes Recommending Ubuntu and other OSes

GNOME Boxes only recommends operating systems that recommend or use proprietary software.

Goals

  • List GuixSD as a recommended operating system
  • Remove the listing of non-free operating systems
  • Potentially remove osinfo for non-free OSes
  • Add Trisuel, Hyperbola, and potentially other systems to osinfo-db
  • Add PureOS to recommended OSes file
  • Search for any remaining files and references

GNOME Boxes recommends downstream change their OS Recommended list: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-boxes/-/blob/master/data/recommended-downloads.xml
