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.

You should be able to run any executable you like in your home directory. No need for any containers. Try it out with a Hello World app.
The executable that I would be running is
cargo(the rust build tool) but I want that inside of a container. I couldcargo buildinside the container and then execute the output binary on the host but then I lose things like hot-reload.Since OP is using an immutable distro they are likely unable to install some dependencies they need without using a container.
