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.

Very very cool!
Tbh I am on Ublue Kinoite and nix just broke and seems extremely hacky. Also no idea how to remove nix again, there seems to be no way?
The
ujustvsjustis kinda confusing.Boxbuddy is really cool, but distrobox and Konsole works just as well.
You know what? I will write a script that automates
Nix broke for me on various distributions, I wouldn't use it.
Enter "ujust" (in the ptyxis terminal) and you will see lots of script names made by the ublue team, e.g. "ujust distrobox-assemble" will create a new distrobox for you automatically.
"just" is the standalone program without the scripts from ublue. No need to use it if you don't have a usecase.
There's probably also a "ujust remove-nix" command or something to remove nix.
Don't use konsole, use ptyxis, it has profiles for your distroboxes automatically.
