I'm trying the Ubuntu Core desktop, the prototype of the planned immutable snap based Ubuntu Core 2024. I love, what I see!
So far I have changed the image format to vdi and it now runs in Virtualbox on my 22.04 Host (Ryzen 3 2200G; 16GB). On the host I installed lxd and seemingly it is needed by Ubuntu Core for the containers. I can install the snaps using the new software manager. With the Workshop App I can install e.g an Ubuntu 20.04 VM or an Ubuntu 22.04 LXC container, but both come up in the terminal. It has an option to do a cloud install, but I have to investigate it somewhat more. The amount of parameters shown during creation is very limited, but there is a very technical overview of say 30 other parameters, that could be changed
I tried to install VBox Guest Additions, but that failed. I could mount the CD, but the install had no access to the 2 roots folder needed, even allowing group access did not help yet.
Somewhat more info would be helpful.
