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?

    That’s the neat part - You don’t! (unless you want incredibly long update times as every new util is a new overlay!)

      Incredibly long update time? Yeah… No. Definitely not something in had any issues with due to layered packages.

        Not in my experience. Though, I suppose I have to thank BlueBuild for the heavy lifting. It’s not even restrictive either, even big[1] projects like secureblue depend on it.
