SUMMARY Distrobox is a tool used to run podman/docker containers and integrate them in userspace. See: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox It comes in MicroOS Desktop by default and I think also Fedora Kinoite. In these distros, you're expected to never install anything to your host root, only to install userspace applications as flatpaks and using terminal tools from inside a distrobox container. One cool thing people can do is to make a custom terminal profile that runs and enters a distrobox container, then setting it as the default profile, so it's immediately ready as soon as you open your terminal. I use this with both Konsole and Yakuake. See: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/useful_tips.md#using-distrobox-as-main-cli By default, using a distrobox profile breaks the Konsole SSH plugin, but I managed to work around this by enveloping distrobox in a shell (I use fish in the container): /usr/bin/bash -c "distrobox enter mycontainer -- fish --login" So the only thing that I think is missing from the UX is being able to switch from/to distrobox profiles, but this doesn't work. Right clicking and attempting to change the profile does nothing. This only works if I go to File -> New Tab -> select a different profile, but this sounds more like a workaround for the fact Konsole can't switch to/from distrobox. FWIW, GNOME Terminal isn't able to switch from/to distrobox either, and it doesn't even have an option to create a new tab running a specific profile, so Konsole is way better off than it. But it would be great to have this functionality. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install podman + distrobox 2. Create a distrobox container with distrobox create 3. Create a Konsole profile that runs /usr/bin/distrobox enter 4. Right click the terminal and attempt to switch to a distrobox profile OR 3. Create a Konsole profile that runs /usr/bin/distrobox enter and make it the default 4. Right click the terminal and attempt to switch away from the distrobox profile
