Do you create a toolbox (or equivalent) to modify your interactive shell for all those nice little shell commands/programs? Seems like a pain in the ass to have to launch your terminal from a terminal (toolbox --enter whatever, just to have (doom) emacs, fzf, fdfind, qalc, nnn, zoxide etc etc) just to have a comfortable terminal?
I use Fedora Kinoite and I do a mix of Distrobox + layered packages for normal use. For development porpuses I prefer a Distrobox container with its own Home directory and it works nice.
