I am freaking out on how well distrobox is working for me. I buy a lot of games on itch.io and GOG, and neither have a flatpak. However, installing an Ubuntu container (max compatibility) and launching games from there just works. Okay, I have yet to install a GOG game, but it the Itch client works then what won't?

I am so excited. Containers are so fun. I guess arch would be easier, but whatevs.

Wouldn't it be fun to have "a ready-to-game Arch Linux based OCI designed for use exclusively in distrobox"?

That would be so fun I am buzzing with excitement. I am not talking facetiously either. I am out in the cold as I type this, happy and quivering.

I cannot wait to get home and try it out!

Please consider reporting back after you've tried it; I'd love to read your experiences.

Also, what is nice about this somewhat failed experiment is that it was easy to just rm the container and everything went with it.

Yeah, I am not going back to regular linux.

Yup, it's absolutely lovely. Did you experiment with a custom home directory for your distrobox yet?
