Hey people,

Recently I switched to KDE Plasma on all of my devices and I like it a lot, however one thing I would still like to see is a virtual machine KDE application. I would be more than happy to get my hands dirty, however I don't quite know what I am expecting so I have a few questions:

As far as I am aware, Boxes is just an interface, written with GTK, for QEMU. Is doing the same with Kirigami feasible for a solo developer.
Moreover I am quite profound in C++ and programming in general, but I never worked on bigger projects
I am quite amazed by Parallels in MacOs, would it be possible to copy some features for KDE, i.e a vm occupying a whole virtual desktop, or single windows "popping" out of the vm.

Tldr - Virtualbox uses qt5 and virt manager is also supported
