Or as layered package with rpm-ostree? With “distrobox-1.5.0.2-1.fc38.src.rpm”-package? Or from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/89luca89/distrobox/main/install?

You have two options:

  1. Installing it system wide using rpm-ostree: rpm-ostree install distrobox
  2. Installing it directly from upstream: GitHub - 89luca89/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
