I glanced at this last night. I haven't read much of it, and I haven't tried it. I never heard of it, or its antecedent mentioned in the README.md file.

Could this, or something else like it, be the basis of a super fast, distro agnostic, shared server?

Thanks! Friendly greetings! :)

I hope everyone gets the servers they want!

    I think distrobox is like lxc, except it doesn't require the root permission and it's easier to communicate with the apps/files/etc inside the container.

    Distrobox runs a docker container with the said distro and transfers your terminal to inside the container on command. It is a good way to test out various linux features.

    If it’s not broken, keep fixing it until it is. Blink twice if you agree.
