@RL_Dane It seems interesting at first glance, but honestly, I don't feel like I'm personally very interested in containerising my life. Maybe there are folks for whom it brings a lot of utility, but in my case I'm in the habit of just not installing software I don't trust: so the convenience of installing things system-wide will usually win every time. If I have something accessible on the network, then I'll usually just use a dedicated docker instance for that.

I get it. I hadn't really messed with containers before, so I was impressed with how well it worked and how lightweight it was (in every sense BUT storage), but yeah, it wouldn't be fun to have to have a ton of them and try to remember which program is in which container.

It does solve the trust issue decently well though vs. something like AUR/homebrew
