I’ve spent some time this weekend reinstalling my desktop with #CachyOS. Previously it used #bazzite, as it was mostly used for gaming, but I was also using it to run some heavier game servers and doing all of that in #distrobox was getting annoying. So far it’s been a nice experience, and I’m enjoying being able to mess stuff up again :blobmiou:

There is something deeply amusing about running openSUSE Tumbleweed in Distrobox and the frontend Distroshelf, and installing a program there for usage on my Arch-based distro.
It's fun and makes me quite happy, I want to eventually play more with dev stuff so this makes sense for me to do. At first in simple ways, then more complex ways! Still not ready to totally handle a pure terminal workflow, so Distroshelf is a lifesaver for me!

New post: Distrobox: Different Distributions in a Box, Powered by #Podman :podman:
The case for running Arch, Ubuntu, and a real RHEL userspace as long-lived containers on a Fedora laptop. Home directory mounted in, GUI apps integrated, VSCode treats the box as a remote target.
Bonus: on a Fedora host registered with subscription-manager, RHEL entitlements propagate into UBI containers automatically via Podman's default mounts.conf. No flags, no manual bind mounts.
Especially good on Atomic spins.

Over the last months I tried to move from gui to cli. Started with shift from #kde plasma to #niri. On Ubuntu 24LTS this was quite problem, first I used #pacstall, but that was better, I changed to #nix package manager, it simply has a the packages, no need to cargo and apt/nala as much. Also I can chair stuff simpler between systems. Nix also enabled me to remove everything but one #distrobox container. As #arch already has #qgis 4

Using homebrew for the first time on Bluefin I immediately hit a snag trying to install 'cowsay' (homebrew-installed perl vs system perl). This led me to try out Distrobox for the first time and it works like a charm.
New ways of doing things introduce new tools and methods. I'm approaching Bluefin with "beginner's mind". 🙂

#Linux adventures... After my last "successful" attempt to install the latest version of kdeconnect by using the #kde neon libraries. And getting left with a very broken #xubuntu...
I'm now attempting to install inside #distrobox, which is a tool I'd never heard of till today. It's unfortunate that the version available for #Ubuntu is so old and that there is no #AppImage or #flatpak alternative.
This process is.... not fast.
Installing a tool shouldn't take so long that I could post this.

I’ve been mulling over the idea of switching to an immutable/container-based #Linux like Bluefin (or similar). However, I really enjoy #ArchLinux and the breadth of up-to-date CLI tools available to me. Maybe I could use #Distrobox to run an Arch-based terminal for day-to-day usage?

💡 moment: You can replace #distrobox with a simple " #nix develop" for SDK and toolchain containers. Instant shell access to the OCI image without requiring Docker/Podman itself!
Why bother? It's easy to lose track of all the containers on your system. With Nix, an unused image is just one more artifact that automatically gets cleaned up when no longer needed.
How?
Read the juicy details below 🧵, or see https://gist.github.com/neobrain/71b2c17f037893db7464be1019b65dc1 for the full implementation :)[1/5]

I'm happy to announce the first RC of #distrobox v2! Rewritten in #golang, looking at being a drop-in replacement. I want to thank the team behind this: @dottorblaster @fabriziosestito @balanza
Get an early look at this and give us feedback!

I've uninstalled #Lutris and replaced it with #Heroic. What sucks though is that unlike Lutris and #Steam, Heroic doesn't bundle runtimes for older #Linux games, so now I have to run the Windows versions of those games through #Wine #Proton. And maybe it's just me, but running the Windows version of anything when there's already a Linux version irks me.
I tried using #Distrobox containers to run those games, but I must be doing something wrong 'cause that didn't work at all.

Estava dando uma olhada no #Nitrux. Não instalei (nem tenho máquina adequada para isso no momento), mas fiquei bastante curioso para brincar com ela.
É mais uma distribuição #Linux imutável em XFS, orientada em torno de AppBoxes (um formato autocontido e em caixa de areia, com um repositório derivado da biblioteca de pacotes do #Debian) e de contêineres rootless (daqueles que hoje podemos subir em minutos com o #Podman nos bastidores, usando o #Distrobox e o #Boxbuddy).
Ela adota o #OpenRC como init system. Conta ainda com um utilitário de linha de comando pensado para virtualização com passagem de GPU. É o tipo de sistema para instalar num desktop tradicional ou mini-PC docável, no qual há o desejo de rodar o #Windows em conjunto com o Linux.

@vernius yo llevo tiempo con MicroOS y para mi las inmutables son el futuro. Más estables las actualizaciones,sin problemas ni conflictos con las dependencias. A nivel terminal uso #distrobox y para mi es ideal. Completa flexibilidad sin poner en riesgo el sistema.

I wanted to test Playwright on my Arch Linux, but that software is a pain to install (which is rare on Arch), even with the AUR package. It's built for Debian-based distributions, and installing dependencies is a mess.
I was thinking about using Debian in a chroot, then I remembered the Distrobox project, which uses Podman with deep integration. This was a perfect use case for it, and it works super well. Kudos to the people involved!

To be honest I'd been thinking of replacing #tmuxinator for a while anyway, as I'm trying to reduce my reliance on the #AUR.
Where I can, I'm switching to alternatives in #ArchLinux's repos. If that's not possible, I'll see if it's in another distro's repos and run it in #Distrobox (for example, pdf2djvu in an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS container). Finally, as a last resort, I'll use a #Flatpak.
