“Learn Linux TV”
What if I told you that you can run AUR packages on Fedora? Or just about any other Linux app that wasn’t meant for your Distro of choice? In this video, we’ll take a look at DistroBox – a very interesting app that lets you easily cross boundaries between distributions. Perhaps most interesting,…

This is amazing, I was running some obsolete Applications on docker, this will make my life somewhat easier.
distrobox = dumb. Any dev will already have a test bench to run any distro they want. Everybody else doesn't give a shit.
It similar to windows Linux OS container, where you can use Linux applications in windows
What about applications that require to run as a service? For example I need cntlm (proxy forwarder) application that should run in a container and should be started as a service. How can I do that? If that possible, a more in depth video about that would be much useful
New office Jay?
Nice to know how to install Ubuntu but would have been better to learn how to access a list of available distros or do we just give it a "best effort" at guessing eachs particular syntax & if it exists?
Your beard is growing stronger by the day! "Men Only" beard fertilizer I assume?
I loooove that the host is so exited about distrobox that he is willing to jump right out of the shower to break the news.
Could this have been a better alternative to flatpaks and snaps? Does it take up lots space then they do?
I use distrobox for running a desktop email client (thunderbird). Have written some basic scripts to backup my distrobox containers, so I can distro hop without having to set up everything yet another time.
Hi jay, I have been watching your videos for quite a while, thanks for contributing to the community with such valuable knowledge in such simple explanations. I wanted to request a video 'Common linux commands' that you use or a linux user would.
I have an question. When I install a package in ditrobox, where exactly this package is it been stored? Awesome video Jay.
Technically DistroBox is DIY version of Flatpak/Snap/AppImage. But it's hard to imagine where I could use it on everyday bases, because I'm neither developing desktop apps, nor experimenting with random software.
Excellent video 👍 Thank you 💜
That’s wonderful
This tool was a random find and I absolutely love using this thing especially to avoid Snaps, which I do have 2 apps that pretty much have no other alternative finding in my distribution (Fedora KDE). Yes, unfortunately not even a Flatpak. And since I'm happy in Fedora generally and don't wanna change it really, this tool was the answer. Both packages from the AUR without needing to run on Arch directly, and there we go. I would personally suggest using Podman though. Works way better than Docker in my experience.
EDIT: It's mentioned in the video, so carry on with this one.
This has almost always existed in Linux. In the beginning, when there were RPM:s and DPKG:s only, there was alien. Linux is different from closed OS:es: it is directed towards being compatible and open, in contradistinction to the proprietary worlds of Apple and Microsoft.
As always a very good video, thanks. Did you know that PPA's are not supported on Debian or it's direct descendents i.e. Linux mint LMDE!! – bummer!
What do you use for terminal prompt to get the distrobox name in the prompt?
❤❤❤
Damn, it uses docker… not interested.
How would this work with something like saving files? For example if I ran un ubuntu text editer, and wanted to save it to my host arch systems document folder, could I do that? Also, would I be able to use the screen reader on my host system with a gui app in distrobox?
Thank you sir , your linux conceptual videos are really awesome sir , we will support you sir
I recently picked up Distrobox to play some older native Linux games I bought off of GOG that were compiled to work with 10 year old versions of Ubuntu on Linux Mint Debian Edition and it works great!
I am not sure if is the place to ask a ? Bud i am going to ask.
I have a small script i need it to execute in a terminal, because it need user input.
What code can i put in the script to have it open terminal, and also run the script?
I am running a Raspberry Pi with Bookworm.
Thanks Brent!
