`/usr/local` is writeable so no change there, that should work fine. I keep a container as my "day to day" linux and just have my terminal autolaunch into mine.

I'm using Prompt, it's a new terminal designed to make the toolbox/distrobox flow much nicer: https://gitlab.gnome.org/chergert/prompt https://gitlab.gnome.org/chergert/prompt
It's still relatively new so it isn't on flathub yet but it makes everything mostly seamless.
- discardedrefuse 3y agoGood to know. Thanks for the info! I'll be keeping on eye on Prompt.
- curt15 3y agoHow do you deal with the lack of systemd in the container? Where do you put software that ship systemd unit files?
- jcastro 3y agoI use containerized versions of things, ubuntu and chainguard images mostly. You can always create containers with init if that's how you want to do that though. Some distros publish images that come that way: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/useful_tips.md#using-init-system-inside-a-distrobox https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/useful_...
