minus-squaregabriele97@lemmy.g97.toplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·1 year agoI Wish I would have discovered it before. I think it’s very useful when you want to install proprietary software like Matlab or Vivado. With distrobox you avoid to bloat your system and when you want to remove them you simply remove the container
minus-squareKekinlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoTo add to this, you can even specify a home folder for the distrobox so it doesn’t even clutter your home folder. Really neat
minus-squaresibloure@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoWow I did not realize that! It’s explained in the docs?
minus-squareKekinlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoYes, in the Useful Tips section. Lots of other cool notes there: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/useful_tips.md Have fun!
