I Wish I would have discovered it before. I think it's very useful when you want to install proprietary software like Matlab or Vivado. With distrobox you avoid to bloat your system and when you want to remove them you simply remove the container
To add to this, you can even specify a home folder for the distrobox so it doesn't even clutter your home folder. Really neat
Wow I did not realize that! It's explained in the docs?
Yes, in the Useful Tips section. Lots of other cool notes there:
