Virtualizzazione e containerizzazione su Linux possono diventare anche un buon metodo per reperire software.
Distrobox, in particolare, viene utilizzato a questo scopo persino su alcune distribuzioni immutabili.

GTK 4.18, the PinePhone and Megapixels https://linmob.net/gtk-418-the-pinephone-and-megapixels/

Running x64/x86 #Windows programs on 64-bit #ARM #Linux device with Wine64/Wine and #Box64 / #Box86: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64/blob/main/docs/X64WINE.md

#Wine 10.0 inside a #Debian #Distrobox container, adapted from: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Steam_in_box86

What I've managed to get working so far: 3D #Pinball and winemine (the Wine #Minesweeper #game).

I tried #StarCraft, without success

#postmarketOS v24.12 stable
Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3

I've been using Fedora 42 KDE edition since it's gotten into beta on March 18 and it's a breeze! Rock solid, zero problems so far and amazing and up to date software.

Linux Kernel 6.14
KDE Plasma 6.3
MESA graphics library 25.0.3
fish shell version 4.0.1
Podman 5.4
Gimp 3.0

It's awesome to use and performance on both my primary machines (A Lenovo ThinkPad T480 and a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s gen4 AMD) is just perfect.

Will probably stay on 42 for ~1-2 months before things get overly boring and I update to Rawhide again

Also running a RHEL10 beta (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) container via Podman and Distrobox.

Hi! In case you missed, my #FOSDEM talk about creating a #rootless #container manager from scratch is available!

We'll talk about the basic principles to build your own container manager, using #lilipod as an example project:

Meta banned Distrowatch.

Distrowatch did an inception.

Blogs run with story meta bans Linux communities for reasons™.

Editors only use two posts by Distrowatch, from their own forums~ comments no less as source.

Anyway Comrades, fact check media before sharing eh?

Shout-out to EposVox for putting this into better words than I:

I myself on #Bazzite #Linux with my #AMD 7900XTX.

If one needs assistance, check out:

One can use the Yafti/Portal on a first run, or anytime for GUI application assistance as well. Ujust commands are not the only way.

#Distrobox is really underrated!
Ironically the #GearLever #Flatpak makes using #appimage completely painless as well.

I have to learn how to use Podman/Quadlet stuffs.... It is a learning journey of rabbithole fun for me.

#nvidia hotfix release for #distrobox 1.8.1.2:

init: improve #nvidia symlinks resolution. Fix #1668

Thanks everyone for reporting problems!

Beta version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 (RHEL10) running inside of Podman with Distrobox on a Fedora Linux 41 system.

When you've installed subscription-manager on the base system (in this case Fedora) and activated the system, then the entire RHEL repositories can be used in the RHEL container (and not only the UBI part).

Great for testing software under the pre-release of next RHEL!

Distrobox 1.8.1, a containerized Linux environment, is a bug-fix release that includes fixes for the NVIDIA toolkit, smarter cloning, performance boosts, and more.

Hi All!
New release of #distrobox is on the way!

1.8.1 brings lots of improvements and refinements all over the place, in pkg manager handling, nvidia integration and in performance department!

Also many many new contributors!

Check it out! https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/releases/tag/1.8.1

Currently trying out #ghostty by @mitchellh as I'm searching for an alternative to the magnificent #iTerm2 on #Linux.

Brought it up using #Distrobox on my #SteamDeck running on #BazziteOS as there is no AppImage (yet, I guess) - what an interesting concept.

Ghostty looks great currently.

I didn't know, Mitchell was on to this until I saw @b0rk mentioning it.

Thanks to both!
