DESCRIPTION

distrobox allows running any Linux distribution inside a terminal container while tightly integrating with the host OS. Containers share the home directory, storage, and hardware access (including graphics and audio).
Built on top of Podman or Docker, it provides seamless access to different distributions' package managers and software.
