Asorry, I'm coming from an old school debian background, so the ostree stuff is new to me. 
A...ok, what's a copr? Is that like an AUR package that works with rpm ostree? 
Hone thing that can happen if you have layered something that gets added in the base image in an update, the update will complain and you will just have to remove the layer before trying to update again
Kcopr is Fedora's version of the AUR
Kthink of it like AUR, but instead of building stuff yourself, RedHat pays to build an RPM for you
AShit I need to learn this stuff. I'm assuming I can list the layers and interact with them.
Kthe elite's dont want you to know this but the build time is free, I have 14317519 failed copr builds in my repos
Halso layering will slow down updates since the layers have to be reapplied to the image after the base image is updated, so use layering as a last resort
FI'd also suggest installing dev tools in a container, anyway. Keeps the base image cleaner.
Kyep, distrobox is always better when possible
ELooking at this, does it look like it would be compatible with Bazzite do you think? https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux?tab=readme-ov-file&fbclid=IwAR0zXOTBxi2KM8vQBThZIzLq9wMVUW2CvqEy-VLU6P1LR5UjE6DLQBFzYFk

This is a project, where I give you a way to use Autodesk Fusion 360 on Linux! - cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux
AI'm looking into that, as well as toolbox. Kinda cool that I could create a distrobox from docker.io/library/ruby:3.3.0.
KDistrobox I prefer to toolbox because of distrobox-export
K
Mthe real abbreviation is so much sillier, “cool other package repo” lmao
AI'm so new, I have no opinion on either, so happy to use distrobox.
ASo, does anyone here run gui apps out of distrobox containers?
FEvery day. VSCode, a dedicated Twitch app, Looking Glass for my Windows VM, etc.
P
Hevery day here too
Hall my development happens in distrobox, i use vscode flatpak to interact with it
AThat's the pattern I'm seeing. Ok, just don't want to swim against the current here.
Rok so this is weird, the wifi on my device is not the only thing that gets weird after coming out of sleep, the brightness settings also get messed up
Asteam likes to play a bit with them on wakeup
FHow do you use the dev environment in a container through the flatpak editor? Export the binaries?
ALearning all of this on my laptop so when I go to switch over my main gaming/dev rig over to bazzite I won't be completely lost.
AFrom what I've seen, you share the host filesystem into the dev container automagically. So make code changes in editor, run tool on same dir in container.
FAnd how do you build and run the code, is my question. The base image doesn't have, for example, dotnet installed.
Aso, ima ask
Awhats wrong with docker?
Amakes working with ruby pretty easy. I mean, I'm fairly competent at managing rbenv, but if I can use the exact same image to develop in that I deploy in? Win-Win.
ALots, but also, nothing. It's great. I use it all the time.
Awhy use distrobox for dev then?
Adistrobox just uses podman under the hood, no?
AAnd it handles the volume mounts, which is nice.
Mit uses podman/podman-docker afaik
Ai just use docker compose
Awith the docker ppa
Ayes i dev on ubuntu server
FDistrobox is essentially just podman/docker, but with preconfigured defaults to make it more intuitive and straightforward when you need a single environment with multiple uses / applications.
A@Frozen how do the distrobox gui apps get exported to the main host screen?
Jthis comes from redhat/fedora
Jthey tell people to use toolbox for development
Ri need to use distrobox more
Jso people end up using distrobox for the same thing
Henter the container and do
distrobox-export --app appnameAi dont even use docker anymore
Ai just use a virtual environment
FInside the container, there's a
distrobox-export command that will export a script to your .local/bin (for binaries) or a desktop file to your .local/share/applications (for GUI apps).
