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'm not sure how it works with PIA, but on Proton I can export multiple configs, let's say 6 different ones with a combination of countries and other options.
Then I add them all into KDE and I can switch between them at will.
It's a slight extra cost of time at the start, but after that it's smooth and easy.
Their OVPN performance isn't as good as WG, so it's really just a backup solution in my mind.
But my main point is that there exist edge cases like that where "install it in a distrobox" isn't a panacea. You either have to learn
podmanand how to forward your network traffic through the container or learn how to pack your own flatpak/appimage/RPM.
