[$] Mix and match Linux distributions with Distrobox

Description:
Linux containers have made it reasonably easy to develop, distribute, and
deploy server applications along with all the distribution dependencies that 
they
need. For example, anyone can deploy and run a Debian-based PostgreSQL 
container on a FedoraLinux host. Distrobox is a project that is designed to
bring the cross-distribution compatibility to the desktop and allow users to
mix-and-match Linux distributions without fussing with dual-booting, virtual
machines, or multiple computers. It is an ideal way to install
additional software on image-based systems, such as Fedora's Atomic Desktops 
or Bazzite , and also
provides a convenient way to move a development environment or
favorite applications to a new system.
