This is the snap for Distrobox, “Use any Linux distribution inside your terminal”. It works on Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and other major Linux distributions.

sudo snap install distrobox --edge --devmode

You need to either install docker or podman on your system. While the snap version of docker is functional with Distrobox, it can't access files in your HOME directory.

(Don't have snapd installed?)

Snapcrafters (join us) are working to land snap install documentation and the snapcraft.yaml upstream so Distrobox can authoritatively publish future releases.

• Click the green "Use this template" button above to create a new repository based on this template
• Give the newly created repository a sensible name, like godzilla if you're snapping the Godzilla software (Note: Do not use snap in this name.)
• Update the description of the repository to Unofficial snap for Distrobox
• Update logos and references to Project and [my-snap-name]
• Create a snap that runs in devmode
• Convert the snap to strict confinement, or classic confinement if it qualifies
• Register the snap in the store, using the preferred upstream name

• Add install instructions to this README.md
• Update snap store metadata, icons and screenshots
• Publish the confined snap in the Snap store beta channel
