There’s probably a combination of magic command line flags that allows podman/distrobox to work, but we honestly shouldn’t need containers for this at all. It’s frustrating how we have all the pieces to make this work, but they just don’t come together properly: Brew isn’t sandboxed and pollutes the environment Nix isn’t sandboxed and can’t prefix install (also the DX with Nix really sucks) Guix is like Nix but without the packages Flatpak doesn’t have the packages Snap is proprietary garbage Maybe this is a hint that I should write my own package manager, with blackjack and hookers that works like Nix but doesn’t hardcode /nix/store and runs everything in bubblewrap?
