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.

I just set mine up to always go into the toolbox image and then I have all the tools I have in there, that way it's transparent and fast, you shouldn't even notice that it's there.
so you can set the launcher to just launch the toolbox image instead of the regular terminal? And it has access to usual ~/ directories? I wouldn't be using for development, just regular usage. I am a heavy terminal user for normal desktop stuff though
Yeah, here's the instructions I use: https://distrobox.privatedns.org/useful_tips.html#using-distrobox-as-main-cli
super helpful, thanks!
This is the way I set it up or you could have any terminal that supports a custom command on launch do it: https://distrobox.privatedns.org/useful_tips.html#using-distrobox-as-main-cli
