Read the primary article or dive into the live Hacker News thread when you're ready.
It targets of course servers/hypervisors but I am wondering if at some point you could just use it as a "desktop hypervisor" since it has SPICE.
I have used a "host" Fedora Silverblue like that with only virt-viewer before. I would just work in 2 or 3 graphical VMs and the performance were decent.
Now you would need to have all the right drivers installed in the IncusOS and I am not sure it is possible.
