I’ve read that containers are preferred for development, but they aren’t persistent and it doesn’t seem like files such as /etc/fstab can be accessed through them when running distrobox (I enjoy editing such files using vim).
It’s also a bit annoying having to enter a specific container to run something like btop.
Are you supposed to layer them with rpm-ostree?
There’s a way to create aliases to the programs in the containers so that you can run them on the host as if they were installed. Look into the Boxy app (should be able to find it as a flatpak) for a GUI way to do it, but you might also look into
nixto set up different dev environments. If it’s not already aujustrecipe, look into how you can layer it and how to load up different nix configs for your different environments.
