You can even install Google Camera app without google play services and deny it Internet access. All works fine.

Any immutable distros like Chrome OS? (Desktop part of the project) in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I'm running uBlue's AuroraOS. Have been very happy with it so far.

Dioxus desktop and fullstack worked out of the box. Bevy isn't working because some Nvidia libraries aren't in the container. I might need to switch to a different 'GPU enabled' image.

How did you go with the VPN? I will be looking at that next. I'm using Proton VPN which has an rpm package, but if that doesn't work I can fallback to manually setting up the WireGuard config.

Are you accessing that through the browser? It might just be bridging the networking in that case.

The executable that I would be running is cargo (the rust build tool) but I want that inside of a container. I could cargo build inside the container and then execute the output binary on the host but then I lose things like hot-reload.

Developing GUI app on Immutable Distros (lemmy.ml)
 

So I'm looking at trying am Immutable Linux Desktop (uBlue Aurora probably). One thing I'm not clear on is how to run GUI apps during development. From what I understand I should create a container with distrobox, install my toolchains in it and start developing. I'm used to containers for CLI and server work, but I'm not sure how it applies to the GUI (Wayland / KDE).

If I do a cargo run inside distrobox for a Rust GUI project will it just work? I saw that I can 'export' apps, but that is for already built executables whereas I will be building and rebuilding them.
