I am freaking out on how well distrobox is working for me. I buy a lot of games on itch.io and GOG, and neither have a flatpak. However, installing an Ubuntu container (max compatibility) and launching games from there just works. Okay, I have yet to install a GOG game, but it the Itch client works then what won’t?

I am so excited. Containers are so fun. I guess arch would be easier, but whatevs.

    Thank you for your feedback! I am learning a lot.

    Glad to be of use 😜!

    This is the first time I have run into issues where I was not tempted to abandon ship and go back to what works. I actually care about this system and want it to succeed. I think this is a super cool path forward.

    I wholeheartedly agree!

    Wow, I almost forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me!

    One problem I had is that I was trying to download an image for linux mint, because it gives me access to PPAs without needing to use SNAP due to Ubuntu, but I could not get an image to download, no matter what combination of linux + mint + version I used. I finally realized I could search podman, now I can go forward!

    Good job learning about podman search! I’m sure you’ll manage 😉!
