  • podman

    Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods.

  • My guy, have you ever heard of Podman? It too can integrate with xdg and provides rootless containers. Not only that, but you can load any distro really. So even if you don't have AUR you can install an Arch image and get the best of both worlds :)

  • apt-rollback.sh --last
