Tsooo how do i install distro box
KIf you do separate drives it just works
Ti dont have a hand on an sd card
Kujust distrobox-arch
Hits installed by default
Kdistrobox enter archTwhat do i do
T
KI sent you two commands, you need to run the first one
Toh
Thuhhh im amd
KWe always launch with the Nvidia flag
Hdoesnt matter, its just saying detect nvidia and set things properly if its detected for hardware acceleration
KIt does nothing if you don't have the driver
Toh ok
Twait can i add also debian to distrobox
KYou can run ujust to see all commands
KYes
Hyes
Tlike
ujust distrobox-debianyes
Toh okay
Twait a minute its says unstable its pulling ?!?
K?
T
KYeah that's the default for debian, stable has terrible GPU support
KYou can create any box you want
Toh ok
Hdistrobox-create --nvidia --image distro --name distro -Yreplace distro with what you want, if it has a docker image it should exist so you should be able to find most known base distros there (debian, ubuntu, fedora, centos, gentoo, etc)
support for different things can vary though so its usually good to stick to main bases until you get more familiar
Hthe ujust distrobox commands uses toolbox images that are more stripped down if i understood you correctly @KyleGospo ?
KYeah, they are missing the vast majority of their pre-installed packages. That's not a problem though because the moment you install anything it'll pull in whatever it needs
KJust keeps it small
Twell i mean as long as i have like Apt or pacman on thoses distro
KYep
Hyeah while distrobox by default (if you just supply
--image distronamethats all i need but also does it work for gui apps ?
Tlike vscode
Hyes if you want the whole vscode to run inside the container, i set up the flatpak and then run devcontainers and that fits my workflow better (but might not fit yours)
KYes, and after install you can do
Kdistrobox-export --app myappAnd it'll show up in Bazzite as though it were native
Twait what you can export apps?!?
Hyes
KYes that's the whole point
Tim blown by that (never used distrobox)
KVery powerful
Hnot everything will work in distrobox, some programs will need specialized containers (those programs that heavily rely on systemd for example)
Hbut those have its own rabbit hole
Hmost applications just work
Tokay then. thanks for your help
