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.

Why doesn't it work exported from a distrobox ?
I forget, to be honest. That was the first thing I tried but I did that weeks ago and have given up since then.
I want to say that it might have been the fact that I'd have to install and enable a GUI environment in the container, which would be, at best, odd, but at worst, buggy, since
espanso
would be interacting with the GUI in the container environment, rather than my host.It's not that bad. I run Davinci resolve in a Distrobox.
Edit: and when I say it's not that bad it's basically flawless
Fair enough. I have some other GUI applications in a distrobox container.
I should have clarified that this program, in particular, does more than merely display content: it has to interact with my Wayland session to inject key strokes, which doesn't seem to work from a distrobox container from what I've seen.
Ah yes. I'm on X11 due to Nvidia and some remote applications for the foreseeable future.
