I’ve read that containers are preferred for development, but they aren’t persistent and it doesn’t seem like files such as /etc/fstab can be accessed through them when running distrobox (I enjoy editing such files using vim).

It’s also a bit annoying having to enter a specific container to run something like btop.

Are you supposed to layer them with rpm-ostree?

    I don’t think it actually is. It’s only like that the very first time when you haven’t you this specific distribution itself. Once you know how the few extra step and understand the core principle, it’s trivial.

    PS: I did tinker with NixOS, SteamOS and ROCKNIX.

      Sure. But you have to figure that out first.

      I’m just saying. It’s not for everyone. I feel too limited when trying immutable stuff, so I stick with my classic. 😀
