    Very very cool!

    Tbh I am on Ublue Kinoite and nix just broke and seems extremely hacky. Also no idea how to remove nix again, there seems to be no way?

    The ujust vs just is kinda confusing.

    Boxbuddy is really cool, but distrobox and Konsole works just as well.

    You know what? I will write a script that automates

    • creating a distrobox box
    • creates a konsole profile to open it
    • adds a desktop action to konsole to launch it

      Nix broke for me on various distributions, I wouldn’t use it.

      Enter “ujust” (in the ptyxis terminal) and you will see lots of script names made by the ublue team, e.g. “ujust distrobox-assemble” will create a new distrobox for you automatically.

      “just” is the standalone program without the scripts from ublue. No need to use it if you don’t have a usecase.

      There’s probably also a “ujust remove-nix” command or something to remove nix.

      Don’t use konsole, use ptyxis, it has profiles for your distroboxes automatically.

      Never see or wait for updates ever again. No fear of accidentally shutting down pc while kernel gets updated.

      Media codecs preinstalled.

      Perfectly set up gaming system if you use Bazzite (Bluefin’s sibling).

      Get more in touch with the “cloud-native” (containers, declarative configuration) system model which is probably the future of Linux.

      Trying something new is always beneficial.
