Compared to Easy-GPU-PV, App Sandbox is 100x easier to use: It’s a full Windows app with a friendly user interface, it also removes the need for Hyper-V, so people on Win11 Home can use it.

App Sandbox includes everything you need to create a VM, just bring your Windows 11 or Ubuntu 26.04LTS ISO and it will setup everything for you including GPU support on both Windows and Ubuntu. You can install apps like Sunshine if you want to, but it’s not a requirement.

App Sandbox is a virtual machine app for Windows and macOS that’s focused on performance and ease of use.
