    Yeah I switched October last year so 14 months in, only booted the Windows partition twice in that time. Recently just been pointed towards distrobox which really fills in the last gaps that I had - I think I can probably install anything I could ever imagine needing now.

      Nice! I don’t use docker much locally (I have servers for that) but I can relate. I spent months on and off trying to get pwsh to work on my system, completely forgetting I could just download and extract a zip and it works.

        For me it was a KORG nanoKONTROL2 that I swapped from a friend for some miscellaneous tech I no longer needed. The only thing I could find that can drive it was a python script and its imports were really hard to find. And of course without think I installed them with rpm-ostree and then couldn’t update bazzite without first removing then reinstalling them.

        Distrobox solves that problem, the script is in my home directory so is available to the container and with a vanilla Fedora container I could just use dnf to install the requirements, export the python script and had it all working in 5 minutes and wouldn’t even know it wasn’t installed within my actual OS.
