also i just remembered a question about distrobox, when you open app in it the distrobox(container)

also i just remembered a question about distrobox, when you open app in it the distrobox(container) wont shut down by itself right? so it is better to have one or few big distrobox with like tens of app or is it still better to have one app per distrobox?

people still do snap? At this point, I'm pretty sure flatpak has won. what exactly are the benefits of snap over flatpak anyway?

VValerie tar above appimage?

it can be used as a shittier docker/nix?

halva•6/10/24, 2:48 AM

i think that's it lol

halva•6/10/24, 2:48 AM

like the only actual real world advantage aside from "you can run console apps there" is that its documentation is comprehendible to a mortal

i mean like is one better than other or is it the same, if i open like five apps from five different distrobox compared to five apps from same distrobox will it like consume more ram,cpu etc

halva•6/10/24, 2:48 AM

unlike flatpak lol

KKyle Gospo Canonical is the only one

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/10/24, 2:49 AM

it will consume more resources slightly with different containers running at once, yea

tryhardsoccermomswag•6/10/24, 2:49 AM

not enough to really matter imo

Aasen23 i mean like is one better than other or is it the same, if i open like five apps...

halva•6/10/24, 2:50 AM

the only real increase will be in ram, and it's barely significant

16.7MB/box

Valerie•6/10/24, 2:51 AM

I barely even use distrobox anymore tbh

asen23OP•6/10/24, 2:51 AM

i think i need to tinker more with distrobox lol

Ripps•6/10/24, 2:52 AM

Theoretically, distrobox apps will load the into ram the libraries from the container. So yes. But we're talking kilobytes, or megabytes maybe. doubtful it's really causing drag on your resources

VValerie I barely even use distrobox anymore tbh

Valerie•6/10/24, 2:52 AM
