• [$] Mix and match Linux distributions with Distrobox

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Thu Dec 11 06:40:07 2025

    Linux containers have made it reasonably easy to develop, distribute, and deploy server applications along with all the distribution dependencies that they
    need. For example, anyone can deploy and run a Debian-based PostgreSQL container
    on a FedoraÿLinux host. Distrobox is a project that is designed to
    bring the cross-distribution compatibility to the desktop and allow users to mix-and-match Linux distributions without fussing with dual-booting, virtual machines, or multiple computers. It is an ideal way to install
    additional software on image-based systems, such as Fedora's Atomic Desktops
    or Bazzite, and also
    provides a convenient way to move a development environment or
    favorite applications to a new system.
