#2Nice!
I've been using virt-manager for a long time, but more KDE native solution is welcome.
Still waiting for virt-manager to add support for Vulkan rendering through libvirt.
Side note, not sure if it's specific to Kirigami, but a bunch of interfaces which use it have this excessive margin spacing feel to them.
Something like that happens with print-manager's configuration which is using Kirigami supposedly too.

#3Karton, Dutch for 'cardboard'. Chosen because it is a tool to handle (virtual) boxes, maybe?

#4Nice, having a new alternative to virt-manager is great, especially a Qt one. Unfortunate it's using Kirigami and Qt Quick, I always felt the appearance and functionality is much worse compared to Qt Widgets.

No need to contact the Dutch for this one - I assume it's just "carton" with the C replaced with K

Ah, but the Dutch can get there without indirection which means they're faster than those label-swapping Anglo- and Francophones.

Indeed, an alternative to virt-manager would be more than welcome. "What, you want to search the XML for a text string? Why would you want to do that? Undo? That's crazy talk!"
I had hoped KDE was over the K-named thing, but I guess not. At least Karton is better than Kvirt-manager.

I think Qt Quick is a pretty generic level, you can make a lot of different interfaces with it. Kirigami is more specific.

Could be German as well.

I would have gone with a creative name like kvm.
