    Man, distrobox confused the shit out of me the other day. I admit, I didn’t feel like digging and learning it. I just let it go once I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. I want to install bazzite in a VM and mess with it for a while until I made sure I know what’s going and also make sure that I can get all of my programs. It’s going to be all flatpak and I am not a big fan of flatpaks. I know people swear by them, but I avoid them like the plague

      Why don’t you like flatpaks? I’ve basically never had any issues with them, but maybe I will in the future.

      As for distrobox, what’s the confusion? Were you trying to do something advanced? Or, was there an issue with mapping things between the host and distrobox? I haven’t really pushed the envelope, but the only issue I’ve had is that I wanted my shell history to be different between the distrobox and the host, so I had to tweak my zsh startup files to detect if I was in a distrobox and save history in a different place.
