From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've never heard of nsjail, so I wouldn't know. But there's also bubblewrap which is used by Flatpak for sandboxing. It's very small, although a bit annoying to use.
Bubblewrap seemed much less user friendly than nsjail, I assume because it is intended to be a lower level application used by libraries like flatpak. It is also more tailored to desktop applications and GUIs, whereas nsjail is focused on server apps (though I did see the author mentioning adding better support for GUIs years ago, but I did not check if that happened).
