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.

That's exactly what I just set up.
I went in thinking as long as dockerband virtual machines work I'm good. They both worked no problems, set up distrobox, tried pamac which opened but installing packages through it was fucky. Yay works great though.
The only thing I'm not sure about is running a VPN through distrobox, but that's next on the list. I can always switch vpns to a Debian friendly one if it has problems.
