  • distrobox

    Use any linux distribution inside your terminal. Enable both backward and forward compatibility with software and freedom to use whatever distribution you’re more comfortable with. Mirror available at: https://gitlab.com/89luca89/distrobox

  • For non-flatpaks, a relatively easy (but arguably not very sophisticated) solution would be to utilize containers; Distrobox offers an easy wrapper around docker and/or podman to achieve this. You can even assign a custom home-folder for each distrobox just to be safe.

  • nix

    Nix, the purely functional package manager

  • More sophisticated solutions are found in combination with the Nix package manager.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
