Portable Arch Linux packed into a single executable
I'm wanting some kind of immutable-ish arch, with all user packages managed by something else like one of these. Also been checking this out https://github.com/jdholtz/pacman-venv which is surprising that it works with just some basic environment variables changing the pacman root and stuff.

Pacman Virtual Environment v0.1
Hi everyone. I just released a new project called pacman-venv. This is a tool that allows you to create virtual environments for Pacman. It works similarly to Python's virtualenv. You can find the project's AUR page here and the source code here.

AppImage + Arch Linux/AUR packages = ArchImage!
PS: about JuNest (see https://github.com/fsquillace/junest ) this is a lightweight Arch Linux based distro that runs, without root privileges, on top of any other Linux distro. I also suggest to take a look at it.

ArchImage: my (experimental) side-project to convert Arch Linux programs to AppImages that really work on any distro, old or young... powered by Junest
About JuNest, all the apps installed using it whave always worked well for me. I've also wrote a script and done a pull request (rejected) for a tool that exports the apps to the launcher (as distrobox-export already do) https://github.com/fsquillace/junest/pull/322

Pacman Virtual Environment v0.1
JuNest https://github.com/fsquillace/junest looks very complete and good, though I dislike the approach of having to download or build an image. It would be nice to be able to do stuff like clone my filesystem (already ZFS) and branch an environment off that instantly.

A script to export the Arch Linux's magics (via JuNest) to the host's menu: "junest-export" (strongly inspired by distrobox-export)
I have already done a PR (see here)to the main repository https://github.com/fsquillace/junest but I still get errors in merging this utility during the automatic github-action's test/check. Any idea?

Tiling with Pytile1x works ok on Budgie
- I have pacman installed through junest. It works for command line programs, did not test for gui software
-
If I am using pacman with a root in userspace, how do I build source packages (aur) also in the user root?
Have you tried installing JuNest? It will allow you to download, install, and use Arch's precompiled binaries directly (in addition to making it easy to compile, install, and use AUR packages).

[Hobby Scuffles] Week of January 23, 2023
As for the rest, I've been testing stuff with distrobox, junest (which is like distrobox, but for arch guest and without the container), and Conty (a lot like Junest but as a single hyper-compressed executable file). Anything requiring an escalation or wanting actual access to root remains an issue, but for the most part, it works well enough.
