Scott LoweI’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?
Tony Wasserka💡 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?

Luca Di MaioI'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!
ProprieteDuSageJe découvre #distrobox . Je me demande si je vais pas tenter de faire une distrobox pour y installer les logiciels que j’ai via des extra repo (genre vscodium, sublimetext, librewolf, etc) et rester propre au niveau de l’os la dessus 🤔

@jorge when i stumbled across #distrobox some years ago it instantly gripped my imagination as arguably one of the most transformational new #Linux tools in my own Linux lifetime [i've only been a #penguinista since 2014, so remain merely a keen noob]. it's just a brilliant project 💜️
