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.
