• [$] Mix and match Linux distributions with Distrobox

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Thursday, December 11, 2025 06:40:07

    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.
