So, if you want to see where Gnome Boxes loads the systems from, you can check the database in this repository.
Some questions about Gnome Boxes
1 project | /r/gnome | 2 Feb 2023

Like already mentioned, Gnome Boxes derives its list of known OS from a library called osinfo. You can check the osinfo data for all catalogued systems, which Gnome Boxes also uses as reference for their recommended downloads.
What will I be missing if I use silverblue?
4 projects | /r/Fedora | 27 Mar 2022

All I'm missing is great IDE support because most don't support flatpak well, but it's still usable. No idea what you need for data science as I don't do it, but everything else you mentioned works great (except for Windows 11 VMs because the libosinfo merge request that is required hasn't been merged yet (link), so GNOME Boxes doesn't create a VM with UEFI support. Win10 works though)
AlmaLinux and Foreman + Katello

libosinfo (used by libvirt/KVM for example): a fix has been added by Andrew Lukoshko, see https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/osinfo-db/-/merge_requests/285 which basically boils down the the file /usr/share/osinfo/os/almalinux.org/almalinux-8.xml provided by the RPM osinfo-db (of AlmaLinux 8.3). If this meta information is missing in your KVM hypervisor (for example if you install an AlamLinux VM on a CentOS hypervisor just now) and you did not specify --os-variant rhel8.3 for example when using virt-install when installing an AlmaLinux VM, you might miss certain optimization because only very generic virtualization settings get applied in case of an undetected operating system.
