BoxBuddy - graphical manager for Distrobox - LinuxLinks
What’s a container? A container is an operating-system-level virtualization method for running multiple isolated Linux systems on a control host using a single Linux kernel.
Distrobox integrates these containers within your host system. Among other things, this means you share the HOME directory of the user, external storage, graphical apps (X11/Wayland), audio, systemd journal, even down to things like aliases in your shell. This is a real time-saver from a configuration perspective.
Distrobox is a command-line affair. BoxBuddy is a graphical user interface for Distrobox.
BoxBuddy makes creating and using these containers quick and easy by providing a simple UI for many common tasks.
