Just came across distrobox, which seems a useful extension to container managers like docker/podman/lilipod, allowing you to run other distros in your shell: 'Use any Linux distribution inside your terminal. Enable both backward and forward compatibility with software and freedom to use whatever distribution you’re more comfortable with. Distrobox uses podman, docker or lilipod to create containers using the Linux distribution of your choice. The created container will be tightly integrated with the host, allowing sharing of the HOME directory of the user, external storage, external USB devices and graphical apps (X11/Wayland), and audio.' -- source: https://distrobox.it/ That should be especially useful for people working in environments where they are forced to use a specific host OS. As long as they have one of the supported container managers available, they can easily switch! Cheers, Peter
