Description

For the non-Flatpak version of Boxes, if you want to boot an OS that requires UEFI (e.g. Windows 11) then you need `ovfm` or `edk2-ovmf` installed on your system. Would it be possible to add them to the Flatpak version?

Research direction

Start by locating the Flatpak manifest or packaging entry point in this repository and determine how runtime firmware dependencies are bundled. Verify whether including ovmf or edk2-ovmf enables UEFI guests such as Windows 11 in the Flatpak version, and document the result with an appropriate test or reproduction.
