I am freaking out on how well distrobox is working for me. I buy a lot of games on itch.io and GOG, and neither have a flatpak. However, installing an Ubuntu container (max compatibility) and launching games from there just works. Okay, I have yet to install a GOG game, but it the Itch client works then what won't?

I am so excited. Containers are so fun. I guess arch would be easier, but whatevs.

distrobox is a godsend for immutable distros

Honestly, it is making my like using linux more. Flatpak made not having the app I wanted available and up to date, distrobox allows me to use a distro that has it up to date natively. Nothing is more dope than that. Except nature? But for computing, I adore it.
