From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Don't use arch, a lot of server software I use don't have arch builds so I had to use distrobox to get the software.
I just use docker/podman containers on my Arch Servers, not a single time I needed to rely on distrobox for anything
Yeah, well distrobox is just a wrapper around podman. I prefer installing some server software outside of containers though. Interaction with distrobox is closer to the feeling of using software outside of a container. Dealing with docker networking and storage can be kind of a pain.
