[Solved] This maybe a strange question but can I run a Linux app in a separate container/sandbox? Without its dependencies bloating my host OS?

Because I hate Electron

@Markaos Well I have a dual boot system, Linux / Windows 10, and have for decades, other versions of Windows but dual boot none-the less. The old days before grub used to chain-load from the windows boot-loader (ick) but over those years I've probably had to reload windows owing to malware I could not excise at least once a year. I've never had to do this, ever, with Linux.

It depends on your usecase. We need more detail regarding what application (gui/cui/open source/proprietary/custom) you are trying to use

  • Check if the application you want to use exists as snap/flatpak/appimage.
  • If it exists, install the application as per their standard operating mechansim
  • Once used, just remove them. Your original system libs are untouched

If the application doesn't exist in those platforms, it's a different story. You might need to use distrobox or docker. Don't use nix because it's overkill for what you want to do.

Podman goes well with Kubernetes. It also is more performant than docker.

I use both

this owes to the fact that windows simply has exponentially more users and is therefore more valuable to target.

@zwekihoyy Yea I've heard that excuse but on the Internet there are infinitely more Linux servers and still Windows is more often compromised. I think it has more to do with thousands of eyes on the code submitting bug reports and fixes.

do some research or something jesus lmao. Linux servers, on average, are much higher profile entities to target, typically has more eyes watching them for problems, and technically literate people administrating them. meanwhile your typical windows machine is used by non technical, every day users who do very little proper security practices and threat mitigations.

you get a better ROI targeting windows users than you do, Linux users.

Appimage doesn’t do deduplication of packages does it?

No, I apparently missed that but

Nix is the best solution anyway imo
