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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Test if Winapps can connect to a Windows VM in GNOME Boxes (Flatpak version). If it works, add documentation on how to set it up. If not, investigate the connection method.
