New post: Distrobox: Different Distributions in a Box, Powered by #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.

@Larvitz I'm using toolbx as it is baked-in in atomic Fedora, but didn't know about distrobox.ini that could help me setup the containers when fresh. I guess I'll give it a shot
Thank you for the article! -

Thank you for the article!@tomas Distrobox is a bit more sophisticated than toolbox, but both tools do something similar. I prefer Distrobox.
