Description

I am not experienced in the details of FlatPak, and realize that applications operate with very particular limitations in system access.

Yet, I have wondered whether it would be possible for the FlatPak distribution of Boxes to support the creation and use of VMs that are accessible to all users on a system, rather than storing the images and manifest beneath the user's home.

Research direction

Start by investigating how the Flatpak distribution of Boxes handles permissions and where it stores VM images and manifests. Determine whether system-wide VM creation and access are supported within Flatpak's limitations; done means documenting a feasible approach or confirming the limitation and required design.
