Someone really needs to develop a lightweight VM container that we can stuff software in. Like, you know how you can buy DOS games on steam, and it just gives you dosbox preconfigured to play the game?

That, but for all software on all OSes

@foone my not-so-hot take: this is what Zones were on solaris (albeit with extra steps). container+os emulation/translation layer. but needs packaging. my also-not-hot take: itanium-based x86 emulation in the 2000s. (also, docker is *not this*. sadly)
