>"Use any Linux distribution inside your terminal. Enable both backward and forward compatibility with software and freedom to use whatever distribution you’re more comfortable with. Distrobox uses podman, docker or lilipod to create containers using the Linux distribution of your choice."
Basically every Package Manager (aka "App Store", "Software Installer" for future readers new to Linux!) from every separate, disparate, incompatible-with-all-of-the-others Linux distro (distribution) which previously didn't work on a different Linux (with the possible exception of Bedrock Linux) -- now work on all Linuxes via Containers.
To repeat,
All Linux Package Managers can now work on all Linux distros!
What a brilliant idea!
Previously (in earlier Linux history!), that was impossible...
(In fact, it might be a good idea to create to create the most "Vanilla-est" (simplest, barebones) Linux that can run Distrobox, and Distrobox alone... Maybe Alpine's Mini Root Filesystem image can do this, or with a few additional files... if so it would be a good candidate. Maybe the most minimum TinyCore Linux can, and if so, it would also be a good candidate... Maybe Linux From Scratch would be a good candidate...)

Anyway, Distrobox looks great!
