[$] Mix and match Linux distributions with Distrobox

Wednesday December 10, 2025. 05:05 PM , from LWN.net
Linux containers have made it reasonably easy to develop, distribute, and
deploy server applications along with all the distribution dependencies that they
need. For example, anyone can deploy and run a Debian-based PostgreSQL container
on a Fedora Linux host. Distrobox is a project that is designed to
bring the cross-distribution compatibility to the desktop and allow users to
mix-and-match Linux distributions without fussing with dual-booting, virtual
machines, or multiple computers. It is an ideal way to install
additional software on image-based systems, such as Fedora's Atomic Desktops
or Bazzite, and also
provides a convenient way to move a development environment or
favorite applications to a new system.
