XR for Universal Blue and Fedora Atomic Desktops

Use podman directly for Envision build container #10

open opened by matrixfurry.com edited

Current Issue#

Some distros only have Distrobox installed by default (Bazzite), while others only have Toolbox (Silverblue)

Proposal#

Build a custom OCI container and use it via Podman. This would have a few benefits:

  • Compatible with more distros, and might even allow us to partially support SteamOS
  • More stable and consistent across systems
  • Easier testing: if it works on one system, it will likely work on any system that can run the container
  • Easy switching between major versions of Fedora
  • Simpler logic than having both Toolbox and Distrobox modes
  • Cleaner updates: the container image could be updated instead of the packages installed in it
