I am running Chimera Linux which I really love for a bunch of reasons. I have a need to run a few applications that are not going to work with MUSL, and are not presently offered via flatpak. Thus, containers I think are my go-to. II was thinking of spinning up a minimal Void linux to use these apps. I don’t have experience running containers at this point and have struggled to understand how to interact with them.
I like simple, and Chimera offers the following solutions -
- Containerd
- Podman
- Bubble wrap
- Chroot
I am pretty sure I can get away with a terminal only setup for these apps, but what if I need a GUI? Is there a good choice among these for security? Resources are not at a premium on my laptop. What do you prefer and why?
TIA!
I just looked, and Chimera also offers distrobox. I didn’t have the need to really use it yet, but it sounds like it would be the best because of its desktop integration.
