halva•6/10/24, 2:48 AM

halva•6/10/24, 2:48 AM

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

asen23•6/10/24, 2:51 AM

i think i need to tinker more with distrobox lol

VValerie I barely even use distrobox anymore tbh
