Description
On immutable systems like Fedora Kinoite/Silverblue or OpenSUSE Kalpa/Aeon, you're supposed to only install Flatpaks. The only option to run a VM is GNOME Boxes. I'm not sure if Winapps can already connect to a Windows VM running in the Flatpak version of GNOME Boxes. If it does, this would be a useful addition to the documentation.

Review the existing documentation for VM connection requirements and, if compatibility is confirmed, document the required setup and verification steps; otherwise record the limitation clearly.
