From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i couldn't figure out where the binaries for their systems are kept and that's really the one thing keeping me from having a great time with distrobox

Distrobox uses podman/docker under the hood. Each distro should have a corresponding OCI image.

I was using podman for the first time. It was kind of on me for that.
