Oh, and also...
No need to leave. There's BedrockLinux, or just distrobox.
~ for the latter of which I was shown this article (titled "I stopped distro-hopping because this tool lets me run everything at once") earlier today on libera.chat from someone who know's Bedrock's been my daily driver for over a decade, with Bedrock being how I ended my distro-hopping, and DistroBox being another way to end distro-hopping. ~ We're now ((at least) two ways) past the days of having to pick just one distro. ;D
I should generally make more use of things lile podman and systemd-nspawn. Thx!
I guess running Bedrock Linux inside podman wouldn't work, I guess. Not sure how well nesting works with containers.
Hrmm. While I've never bothered with containers, I don't see why bedrock wouldn't work in a container. Could be easy to test... set up a container with whichever distro, and try run the BedrockLinux hijack installer script on it... Don't blame me if somehow it escapes the containment and eats your whole system ... (~ I don't see why/how it would ~ should be safe ~ but like I say, I don't have experience with containers.)
