    Since its immutable, I imagine that a lot of apps may not “just work” and need special packaging or configuration. But I havent used it. What would you say? Apps just work or they need anything special? Will Flatpaks work?

      Flatpak works just fine, as it installs to the user directory and not any immutable part of the filesystem. Any non-flatpak apps can be ran in distrobox.

        Distrobox seems to be a container… I wonder how well that works with applications following system themes and being able to be seen in app launchers.

        Its interesting but my experience is that usually you do get some issues with solutions where apps are not native.
