Distrobox 1.4 toolkit has been released, allowing you to quickly install and run any Linux distribution in a container and ensuring its integration with the main system. The project code is written in Shell and is distributed under the GPLv3 license. <\/p>\n

The project provides an overlay on top of Docker or Podman and is distinguished by maximum simplification of the operation and integration of the running environment with the rest of the system. To create an environment with a different distribution, you simply need to execute the command distrobox-create without worrying about the details. After launching, Distrobox ensures the user's home directory is forwarded into the container, configuring access to server<\/a> X11 and Wayland for executing graphical applications from the container, allows the connection of external drives, adds sound output, and implements integration at the level of the SSH agent, D-Bus, and udev. <\/p>\n

Distrobox claims the ability to use 17 distributions as a host system, including Alpine, Manjaro, Gentoo, EndlessOS, NixOS, Void, Arch, SUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, and Fedora. Any distribution for which OCI-format images are available can be run in the container. After installation, the user can work fully in another distribution without leaving the main system. <\/p>\n

The main areas of application include experiments with atomically updatable distributions, such as Endless OS, Fedora Silverblue, OpenSUSE MicroOS, and SteamOS3, creating separate isolated environments (for example, for running a home configuration on a work laptop), and accessing newer versions of applications from experimental branches of distributions. <\/p>\n
