Short answer is yes. You are probably not going to run a “full Ubuntu Desktop” though. Is that what you want? You would run your normal desktop ( from the host distro ). In Distrobox, you would have Ubuntu installed including whatever GUI apps you need. When you run those GUI apps, they appear on your regular desktop.

Yes my idea would be to have a full Ubuntu Desktop that I can use for a project, and then save it on our git. So when my colleagues have to work on this specific project they can just copy the container and dive in. Of course this would also work with a regular Distrobox container but that requires more terminal action than some colleagues are comfortable with. Plus it's hard to see sometimes when a GUI app is from a container and when it's on your host. It's almost too seamless. So having a single "window" into a full ubuntu container would be my preferred option.
