SYNOPSIS
toolbox [command] [options]
DESCRIPTION
toolbox (or Toolbx) provides containerized command-line environments on Linux, primarily for Fedora Silverblue, CoreOS, and other immutable/ostree-based distributions. It creates mutable containers that seamlessly integrate with the host system.Containers have access to the user's home directory, networking, and graphical environment while being isolated from the immutable host OS. This allows installing and using development tools without modifying the base system.

CAVEATS
Requires Podman as the container runtime. Best suited for immutable Linux distributions. Container images are distribution-specific. Integration with the host may vary.
